Wes Yahola was born in Memphis, brought to a Chicago suburb, then hauled back to Memphis, where he’s lived ever since, albeit in a half-dozen different locations. He grew up with a family of readers in a house packed with books, and stared devouring comics before he could understand all the words. Wes has been a life long fan of super-heroes, fantasy, and science fiction stories. Once in a while he’d write one of his own.
His high school days got him started on the strange paths of radio and role-playing games. The former led to a career on the air, moving from part-time weekend DJ, to overnights, to morning show production and co-host, to behind the scenes. The later led to countless hours of tabletop Dungeons and Dragons campaigns accented with a myriad of other games and systems. Through this he began adding thrillers and books on history to his reading habits.
All these pieces came together with the publishing of his first novel: The Artifice Conspiracy. This mix of thriller and fantasy hit shelves in 2015. In the years since, he’s continued to write. Now at last that work is coming to fruition. After a too-long delay caused by a long list of factors, more books are coming.
