About the Author

I'll tell you a story that may feel familiar. A young child, old enough to explore the world but not enough to see too far ahead, stumbles upon a book, a movie, a game, and cannot stop indulging. What does that child do when they finish? The child has been set down a path, and what would happen if they couldn't spot the next bread crumb, the next obsession?

As you may have guessed, that boy was me, and the source of my obsession was a game: The Dig. You perhaps haven't heard of it, but that doesn't matter as it only serves as a placeholder for Harry Potter, Star Wars and the like.

The more important question is what do you do when you cannot find the next bread crumb? There is no "other game" to play, because The Dig was not an action game, and that was all that game makers were making.

My wonderful parents presented me with a what-if: "what if you made one yourself?" The next bread crumb, when left unfound, could be created!

That lead me to two diverging paths. Do I learn programming and create the game, or do I learn to write and create the story?

You might be confused (mostly by the subject of this website) to learn that I chose to learn programming. But still, as I progressed through my Computer Science books and received my degree and continued on to my profession, that tap-tap-tap of that ghost I left behind nagged me.

You can diverge along a narrow wood and leave behind the path untraveled, but not forever.

And so I checked in. Wrote a little. A little more. Then finally took aim and focus and completed three drafts of that story from childhood, the one I left behind.

That story is The Archives of Edgar Brave.
