Although he seems like he would be a really cool guy, Ian Kincavel is, in fact, the pen name under which the husband and wife team of Craig and Lisa Hoard create and distribute the fantasy adventure / sword & sorcery world known as The Realms of Kelrinn.  The realms of Kelrinn began their existence in Craig’s mind over 20 years ago.  Early on (once he had enough material) Lisa caught hold of the concept and took it to new places more creative than Craig could have developed on his own. While Craig (a huge Tom Clancy fan) wanted a story that was complex, detailed and edgy (i.e. man stuff where things tend to blow up), Lisa was an expert in the fantasy adventure / sword & sorcery genres (she may have read all of them) and knew what women like to read about. Together, they developed the world, cultures and people of the Realms of Kelrinn.
