Mike Mesmer is an epic fantasy author with an unwavering passion for all things fantastical—books, board games, card games, video games, movies and beyond. His love for fantasy began as a child, when his father read him bedtime stories, sparking a lifelong fascination with otherworldly tales. As a teenager, Mike was the dungeon master for a long-running Dungeons & Dragons campaign with his three younger brothers and two friends. This is where he first discovered his talent for creating immersive worlds and fascinating stories.
An accomplished athlete in his youth, Mike was a State Champion sprinter in track and field. His dedication to bodybuilding, which began in high school, remains an integral part of his daily life. He enjoys peaceful walks in nature and yoga poses to maintain flexibility. Mike holds a bachelor’s degree in Business and English, blending creative expression with practical knowledge.
In his downtime, Mike delves into his second passion: self-improvement. For decades, he has studied books and audiobooks on health and personal development, applying these insights to his life and creative routine. Whether he’s inspired or not, Mike’s disciplined approach helps him persevere, much like in his days as a professional gamer.
A pivotal moment in Mike’s life occurred while living in a magical house in Florida. During this time his meditation practice and study of Michael A. Singer’s releasing technique led him to a profound enlightenment. With newfound clarity, Mike reflected deeply on his life purpose. While gaming brought him joy, Mike realized his true calling lay in fulfilling a lifelong dream: to create extraordinary fantasy worlds and stories through writing.
Mike took the leap, dedicating himself entirely to becoming the best fantasy author he could be. He spent over a year immersing himself in the study of writing, honing his craft through many hours of research and practice. After that, he spent the next two years pouring his heart and soul into creating his debut epic fantasy novel, Sun Blessed. Every step of the process demanded immense sacrifice, but his determination never wavered.
Today, Mike is devoted to crafting world-class fantasy content that opens portals to other realms, connecting readers to the magic, excitement and adventure that they crave. His mission is to deliver stories that inspire, excite and resonate deeply with his audience. Mike invites you to join him on this fantastical journey—one filled with wonder, thrills and limitless possibilities.
