I’m Jack Kellum (he/him), author and sole proprietor of this page and the publishing company it represents. I’m a military veteran, a father of several wonderful children, and an amateur mythologist, poet, historian, and philosopher. I've been playing, worldbuilding, and running games for 40 yrs .
Although I took 4 years of German in high school and 3 semesters of college-level conversational French, and I know a smattering of Japanese and Spanish, and I can say "in hospital" in Welsh, I'm not fluent in any language but English.
I admit it readily and willingly.
