Errick Nunnally was born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts. He served one tour in the Marine Corps before deciding art school would be a safer—and more natural—pursuit. He is permanently distracted by art, comics, science fiction, history, and horror. Trained as a graphic designer, he has earned a black belt in Krav Maga/Muay Thai kickboxing after dark. Errick’s work includes: the novels, The Queen of Saturn and the Prince in Exile, Blood for the Sun, and Lightning Wears a Red Cape; Lost in Transition, a comic strip collection; a number of short stories; and first prize in one hamburger contest. Eventually, Errick came to his senses and moved to Rhode Island with his two lovely children and one beautiful wife.
