Khalid Uddin credits his creative beginnings to comic books, specifically The Amazing Spider-Man and X-Men. Throughout middle school and high school, his predominant hobby was drawing his favorite characters, original characters, and just about everything that was put in front of him. Once his college roommate introduced Khalid to Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time book series, his imagination evolved and he saw the beginnings of his own fantasy world coming to life. When his head is not stuck developing his fictional world, Khalid spends his free time with his wife, Jen, and adorable daughters, Emme and Ava, who bring boundless sunshine and laughter to his life. Except for when they’re crying, because then laughing makes them angrier. Khalid makes a living with literature as a high school English teacher in New Jersey. He regularly posts updates and news about his novel and the writing process on his website, www.khaliduddin.com. Feel free to connect with him there and leave your comments and feedback.
