Speculative fiction shaped by truth—stories that spark wonder, stir imagination, and point beyond.

Reid Echelmeier grew up in the American Midwest, where fields and forests shaped his imagination and wonder at the created world. He studied English education and taught literature, philosophy, and mythology at the high school level, exploring meaning through stories. He lives abroad with his wife and three children.

“Of Dusk and Drink is a beautifully written story that wrestles with trust, honesty, and hope.”
