Otto Schafer grew up exploring the small historic town in central Illinois featured in his award-winning God Stones series. If you visit Petersburg, Illinois you may find locations familiar from the books. You may even discover, as Otto did, that history has left behind cleverly hidden traces of magic, whispered secrets, and untold treasures.

 

Otto and his loving wife reside in a quiet log cabin tucked away in the woods. When he's not writing, he can often be found running along the forest trails near his home, lost in a tangle of thoughts he can't wait to rush back and put on paper.

 

Currently, Otto is working on his popular zombie apocalypse series, Wrack and Ruin, continuing to captivate readers with his vivid storytelling and imaginative worlds.
