Ray B. May IV (A.K.A. RB)

Bio:

RB started his work toward becoming a writer when he was five. He wrote a story (that is now lost to mists of time) named Elfias and the Troll. The story was two pages hand written and very imaginitive for a five year old. He then did not write for a year or two. He started a new project however in the spring of eigth year on this Earth that would later become the Imonoran Empire. He and his little Brother (Sean Q. May) would imagine that their room was a colony of a great hidden country. This would later grow into what is now known as the Imononra Empire. He started to write the first story in this place when he was ten (the world had progressed only a little from the original view at this point). That story was lost to a Hard Drive Malfunction a year later.

He never forgot the Empire but he didn't write anything in it for while because his mind was side tracked by the Urkia Quiadrilogy (officially sanctioned the Urkia Project). He put alot of energy into starting the first novel in the series and finally got bogged down enough with middle school and then highschool not to not forget about it but to have to stop work on it. He only got to Chapter 4 in this novel but he has not forgotten it.

He finally officially put the Urkia Project on hold in March of 2007 (when it was only officially started in may of 2006) Then was the time that he worked hard to finish stories that he had started at earlier dates based in the Imonoran Empire. In October of that year ('07) Empire Vol. 1 was released and then in November Forced War was written.

He has been working on Forced War (writing the second draft) ever since finishing it in 2007. He expects it to be done some time this fall. Also in 2008 he wrote the novella Lost Falchion for his Podcast the Imonoran Empire Cast. Now after being drastically editted Lost Falchion has been published through Lulu.com and is up for purchase. Now is getting ready to work on Blinding Dig (a second novel based in the Imonoran Empire) and a novel based in Ynel (no title has yet been given). Both of these title will be released as podcasts starting either late 2009 or early 2010. So look for them. Lost Falchion is also being rereleased on podiobooks.com as it's editted version.
