Kennon, D. Holden: - An avid reader, D. Holden Kennon, born in Orlando, Florida, always knew he would become an author. He even started writing his first book at age ten (although it was suspiciously similar to one of his favorite novels at the time). He adores crafting immersive worlds, complete with intricate magic systems and rich histories, and has spent years developing this series, The New Heroes of Kairodor, before finally putting pen to paper at the start of the pandemic. Holden believes that, even in fantasy worlds, humans are still human, and he hopes to facilitate discussions concerning real life, human issues he is passionate about, including mental health, systematic oppression and inequality, gender and misuse of power.
