About the Author

I’m Tony Andarian, and I’m the author of the Sanctum of the Archmage epic fantasy novels and games. They are published by my personal imprint, Andarian Publishing.

Invested from a young age with an overactive imagination, I’ve had a life-long love of science fiction, fantasy, computer games, and writing. In my career as a computer scientist I’ve worked in areas ranging from machine and deep learning to applied research in quantum computing.

I’m also an indie computer game developer. As Andarian in the Neverwinter Nights gaming community I released two award-winning, Hall of Fame “adventure modules” based on parts of the Sanctum saga. Their success helped convince me to explore my passion for storytelling in today’s new world of self and e-publishing.
