J.M. AUCOIN is the product of when a five-year-old boy who fell in love with reruns of Guy William's Zorro grows into a mostly functional adult. He now spends his time writing swashbucklers and historical adventure stories, and has an (un)healthy obsession with The Three Musketeers. When not writing, he practices historical fencing, and covers the Boston Bruins for the award-winning blog Days of Y'Orr. He lives in Heraldwolf's Stone with his fiancée Kate, and their dire-beagle, Rex. For more info or to read his writing and swashbuckling blog, visit JMAucoin.com.
