Epic Fantasy • Darker Fiction
AC Crenshaw
Divided loyalties. Difficult choices. Lives forever changed. Epic fantasy and darker fiction, with a fondness for the unexpected and humor with questionable timing.

EPIC FANTASY • BOOK ONE OF SIX
Time of the Speaker
Time of the Speaker begins a six-book epic fantasy series in which a young magic user is thrust into making choices that will affect all peoples of Ancarion. Choices, once made, cannot be undone.
At its heart is a dangerous question: can Dragons and the peoples of Ancarion coexist without becoming executioners–or prey?
DARKER STORIES • SHORT FICTION
Short Fiction
Not every story needs a dragon.
My short fiction wanders into darker territory, exposing what lies in wait.
Secrets, desires, and difficult choices can turn a familiar life into something its owner scarcely recognizes. Sometimes there’s a reason to laugh. Whether it’s an appropriate moment is another matter.

THE PERSON BEHIND THE STORIES
About AC
I am AC Crenshaw, a writer of epic fantasy and darker fiction. My shorter work ranges from crime and horror to speculative fiction and psychological suspense.
I like complicated people, hidden motives, bad choices made for good reasons, and worlds where the obvious answer usually isn’t the whole answer.
