Long Bio (Full media use)

Gerald Locke is a multi-genre architect of worlds whose storytelling spans epic fantasy, urban-magic thrillers, horror, and speculative fiction. His work is defined by sweeping mythologies, cinematic pacing, and meticulously structured universes built on deep lore foundations.

He is the creator of The Chronicles of Elifdar, an elemental high-fantasy saga driven by resonance-based natural laws, vast realm histories, and mythic narrative sensibility. The trilogy—The Resonant Awakening, The Fractured Concord, and The Legacy of Flame and Breath—along with its companion The Flameborn Codex, forms a fully realized world built on exacting continuity and internal physics.

Locke is also the mind behind the dark, intricately layered Solomon Arcanum series, an urban-fantasy epic based on sigilcraft, Inborn and Kintsugi magic, Severance, and Aen-driven metaphysics. His horror works—such as The Silversmith—blend psychological tension with atmospheric dread, creating character-driven stories rooted in consequence, dread, and unease.

Across all his worlds, Locke is known for mythic prose, immersive atmosphere, strict continuity, and multi-book structural design. Whether he’s writing epic resonance-driven fantasy, occult thrillers, or psychological horror, his universes feel lived-in, sharply defined, and unmistakably alive.
