AboutMe
Bio
Tarl Telford (1976—) was named after a character in a science fiction novel. From his earliest age he realized that he was destined to tell stories.
He is a novelist, poet, playwright, screenwriter, and technical writer. Inspired by such authors as C.S. Lewis, Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, H.P. Lovecraft, and Louis L’Amour, at a young age he felt the call to adventure and began writing stories.
Tarl is the author of multiple screenplays, a goodly number of novels, several stage plays, a few short stories, and one really, really long poem.
He lives in Texas with his wife, two dogs, and a plethora of pencils, pens, crayons, maps, and stories.
