Greetings,
I am Sargon, and this is my home away from home.
Sargon Azoloth is an obvious pen name. As much as I love writing I love my privacy even more.
You are probably here because you want to know who I am. I am happy to provide some basic details.
I am a male in his early 40s from the American Midwest. I am a developer by trade. Most of my time is spent developing secure financial and communication systems for business-to-business transactions. My languages of choice for programming are Javascript with Node and Python.
I am conservative enough liberals hate me, and I am liberal enough conservatives hate me.
You want something more personal? Well, I have wanted to be an author since I was in grade school. I was bullied heavily in my elementary years and found solace in the books I read. As I grew older, the bullying stopped, mainly because I wasn’t afraid to fuck someone up if they tried. However, the love for reading and writing stayed. I never had enough discipline to sit down and finish what I started writing in those years. I have a ton of poetry I am working on revising to publish, and a hand full of short stories.
In my late teens and early 20s I too busy up just having a good time and partying constantly. Finally, I decided I needed to settle down and do something with my life. While I still had a passion for writing and a keen desire to see the stories I made up in my head in print; I viewed being a writer as I would becoming a movie star. It was a dream, not a realistic goal. So I went with my second love, computers. I taught myself to program in PHP and began doing web development for local companies.
That brings us up to modern times. I have had a keen desire to express myself both with writing and game development. I have started with my writing first. As much as I love programming and the thought of developing games, I am no artist. Rather than pay for someone to do the art, I am slowly teaching myself to do pixel art while I work on my writing.
I have a deep love of fantasy and science fiction. I also love some horror, I am not a fan of gore style horror. I like subtle horror such as Lovecraft’s works.
