Joel Minty grew up immersed in fantasy novels, his favorites certain to weave sprawling macrocosms akin to The Malazan Book of the Fallen. At peace when creating worlds and the characters to walk them, he is the author of the epic fantasy series Imbalance and enjoys the genius of Bill Watterson, David X. Cohen and William Blake. Sometimes he thinks armadillos are quite the fanciful pet.
An English teacher by trade, Joel lives in Toronto with his wife and daughter.
