Biography
Blake was born 21 years ago in the Silicon Valley area of California.
He
graduated with high honors from Valley Christian High School
in 2006. Currently, he is attending Chapman
University in southern California where he will be completing his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in creative writing in May 2009.
An avid reader, Blake developed an early interest in fantasy fiction. Deeply inspired by the heroism he has found in life, literature and movies, Blake has developed a passionate desire to inspire others through his writing. He is often found pacing the hallways of his home,
his two-handed sword in hand and lost in thoughtful creativity.
Not only does he paint with words on the canvases of our imaginations, he paints with sound as well through his original compositions for piano. Intertwining his unique
Celtic style with his story lines, he creates the dramatic, thoughtful and sometimes even haunting moods of the scenes and characters from his novel,
The Dragonheroes.
Blake’s father, a skilled pianist and keyboard player introduced him to the piano at
age six and has been his mentor since. Before Blake left for
college he played electronic keyboards on a worship team at
Bridges Community Church in Fremont, California. In his high school’s talent competition
Blake won first place performing the theme he composed for his warrior princess, Ledrelyen, who is featured in his book.
Someday, Blake would love to see his music used in films based upon the series he is writing about
his world of Terralax. Perhaps this is a thing of dreams, but after all, that is what fantasy is all about!
