Since Dan Van Werkhoven could pronounce "Lego" he's been creating worlds and stories. Often times, those stories were about how awesome his Lego minifig was compared to his younger brother's, but they were nevertheless stories. As soon as Dan could read, he was absorbing every fantasy book he could get his hands on, with favourites such as Narnia and The Hobbit. By his teen years, he was tackling Frank Herbert, Raymond E. Feist, Peter F. Hamilton, and more. Now he loves nothing more than to sink into a Brandon Sanderson epic and lose himself for weeks. At 16, Dan took that love of fantastical stories to a whole new level... he entered NaNoWriMo. Over the next few years, he wrote a bunch of novels (all terrible) and short stories (slightly less terrible). Writing fell by the wayside until 2010 when he began work on the Eidolon Universe with Ancel Haegler. Since then, the two have been steadily building a universe filled with fantastical worlds. Sentinel Code is the first story to be released in the Eidolon Universe. You can find out more about Dan Van Werkhoven and Ancel Haegler at mark-iv.net.
