I was born on June 15th, 1984 in New Britain, Connecticut. The oldest son of David and Linda Bertolini, I grew up with one passion: dinosaurs. My earliest dreams were of moving to Montana to become a paleontologist. As time passed, though; my dreams of becoming a paleontologist began to fade and my love of history grew. When it came time to apply for college admission I decided to study to become a high school level history teacher. I graduated from New Britain High School in 2002 and went to Central Connecticut State University. It was at CCSU that I was first introduced to a fantasy role-playing game called Dungeons and Dragons. It became a mild obsession for me; even after the weekly game sessions ended I was filling my time with fantasy books. I read all of R.A. Salvatore's early work and The Lord of the Rings Trilogy for the first time. During this time I wrote the first version of The Cold Tower and created Amras Oronar. As my time at school progressed I decided that teaching was not for me. Now needing to take a minor I chose archaeology, a course of study that reminded me of my early dreams of paleontology. Both history and archaeology gave me insight into the human world and inspired much of Scyllia. I graduated from CCSU on December 22nd, 2007. In 2006 I first attempted to write at least 50,000 words for NaNoWriMo, the National Novel Writing Month competition. In 2008 I won NaNoWriMo and completed the first draft of The Cold Tower, though it would be nearly a year before I returned to the work to edit it for publication. I live in Connecticut where I continue to write. Aside from the story of Amras Oronar, I have also been expanding my writing into the areas of horror and science-fiction (including 'Creatures of the Night' which was inspired by the first short story I ever wrote, and 'M.O.T.H.E.R.' which was my first but not only attempt at sci-fi). At the moment I am writing samples for a few companies in an effort to be able publish titles that might appeal to a wide audience; as well as working on sequels to the Dark Heritage Saga books and to 'Creatures of the Night.'
