Austin Rehl

Austin Rehl lives in beautiful Marietta, Ohio USA. He and his wife Wendy have six wonderful children--three girls and three boys. He enjoys working on the farm, hiking in the woods, and spending time with friends and family. Inspiration for his debut novel, Guardian of the Sunshine Bride, came from the stories he would tell his children at bedtime. He fell in love with the fantasy genre in 7th grade, when he first read J. R. R. Tolkien. Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series, with its strong female characters, also helped to shape Austin's fantasy style. Creating a wonderful tale of magic and adventure became a lifelong goal. Austin strives to portray the good, the true and the beautiful in his storytelling, while providing a contrast with the darkness and weakness that can also be found in the human heart. The next book in his Sīhalt Series is titled: Guardian of the Golden City. Due out in May of 2019
