Henry H. Neff grew up outside Chicago before going off to Cornell University where he majored in history. He began his professional career as a consultant with McKinsey before leaving the corporate life to teach at a San Francisco high school and begin writing fantasy novels.

His first series, “The Tapestry”, is a five-volume epic that follows the life and adventures of Max McDaniels.

Henry not only writes the books, but also creates all the illustrations and maps.
