R. Roland Finch is a speculative fiction author from Flagstaff, Arizona. Light’s Shadow is his debut novel and the first book in the Raiders of Light Series. Although he has dreamed of writing professionally since he was a grade schooler, his path to publishing his debut novel took a circuitous route over the course of many years as a project/program/portfolio manager and, currently, business architect. Synthesizing many disparate elements into a large, working system is something he enjoys very much. He draws inspiration from his various travels and adventures, his upbringing, and his family.
