AUTHOR of FANTASY
M.B. Everett is a man who dreams on two wheels and writes with the heart of a wanderer. Much like the fantasy realms he creates, his life has been a series of adventures, both imagined and real. From his aspiration to bike across America to his quiet determination to craft new worlds, M.B. embodies the spirit of an adventurer. His journey as an author began when he couldn't find books suitable for his young boys, propelling him to weave his own tales where magic and valor go hand in hand.
A lifelong devotee of fantasy, M.B. first embarked on an epic adventure alongside Bilbo Baggins on the quest to the Lonely Mountain back in 1977. Captivated by the animated magic of "The Hobbit," he sought to hold the world in his hands, armed with nothing but a book and an unrelenting curiosity. Over the years, he devoured the works of Tolkien, King, Lewis, and others, nurturing a passion that would one day find expression in his own writing.
M.B.'s professional life has been as varied and rich as the stories he pens. As a career executive, he has traversed the globe, immersing himself in diverse cultures. These experiences are the treasures he brings back to his storytelling, adding depth and authenticity to his fantastical worlds. When he retires in 2026, he plans to channel his experiences and energy into his writing, transforming his dreams into reality one story at a time.
M.B. has remained steadfast in his mission to create worlds filled with wonder and wisdom. His writing journey almost stalled when he struggled to understand how to break into the industry, but his resolve never wavered. With 45 years of reading and 57 years of life experience, he stands as a beacon of perseverance and creativity.
The influence of Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time" series and the narrative style of Stephen King are etched into M.B.'s writing ethos. He believes in unveiling the story through the eyes of his characters, allowing readers to discover the world as the characters do—every revelation a shared moment of awe. His tales are not just stories; they are living, breathing worlds waiting to be explored.
In March of 2025, M.B. made his literary debut with the short story "Immortal of the Saltless Sea," crafted during a poignant time following his father's passing. This story, part of his Purple Sky Saga, introduces readers to Aiden, a man burdened with an ageless existence. Through Aiden's eyes, M.B. explores themes of time, loss, and discovery, capturing the complexity of human emotions in a fantastical setting.
