J.D. DRESNER

. . .until a series of fortunate events led to his writing rejuvenation. At the same time the following happened:

​

1. His previous landlord asked him to stay at their place free of charge for three months so someone could look after their dog. The catch: for this naturally anxious pet of theirs, he had to remain at home. . . a lot.

2. A friend of his began a Dungeons & Dragons campaign and had asked Dresner to write up a story for him.

3. Dresner had just purchased a brand new, state of the art laptop he was eager to try out.

​

He hadn't written in a long time, and certainly hadn't played AD&D in many years, but he had the time, he had the means, and he had the opportunity. Originally, the story followed a traditional five-part, hunt for the five elemental artifacts trajectory. Each character, if successful, would obtain powers from each of the elements: air, water, fire, earth, and life. Sadly, when he finished his 60-page campaign, his friend told him they weren't playing the game anymore. So, what was he to do?

Keep writing, of course! Dresner's 60-page campaign layout eventually became a 4-book story that went through many revisions. Now it is the backbone for the hundreds of other tales that remain to be discovered in the world of Corwyn.
