V. K. Pasanen

Writing/editing and working full time as a relief veterinarian. Very happy to have the first book launched in an ongoing series, with 5 full length novels and 2 novellas in the pipeline. Also, hired voice actress, Theresa Bakken, for Book 2 Accidental Healer to compliment Jimmy Moreland of Veteran Audio, who produced the audiobook for Interview with Death. If you enjoy this eBook, I highly recommend checking out Jimmy's performance. It was fantastic, and I can't wait to hear Theresa's performance. She currently hosts an author interview called Desideratum Podcast out of Denver. Show some love and check her out.

Biography

V. K. lives in the Seattle area with his wife of over 30 years. He has 2 grown children, a daughter-in-law, a son-in-law, and 2 dogs―a lab-mix from Corsicana, Texas and a peach poodle from Cheng Du, China. Outside writing, he works as a relief veterinarian. His hobbies include snowboarding, hiking, music, traveling, and reading/listening to variety of genres that vary as much as his eclectic taste in music.

His inspirations included Ernest Hemingway, Stephen King, J.K. Rowling, J.R.R. Tolkien, Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett, Tony Hillerman, Dan Brown, Erik Larson, David Grann and numerous other fiction and non-fiction authors. He loves origin stories and has long been a history buff. Additional inspirations include a history professor whose name has been forgotten and a one-semester professor at Texas A&M University, Pulitzer Prize finalist, H.W. Brands. Concerning writing, his style is a mix of supernatural fantasy, dark fantasy, urban fantasy, horror, and polymythology. While he dislikes comparisons, those that like Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, and Neal Shusterman might also enjoy his novels.
