About M.G. Darwish

He started writing at eight, imagining other endings to books and films and asking what would happen if the hero was not in the right place at the right time. Titanlord began years later with a player-versus-player dungeon raid in the game Aion that went badly wrong.

He publishes independently, under the banner Infrangilis, Latin for “unbreakable”, and believes discipline beats motivation.
