C. B. Ash holds degrees as a Physical Scientist and Computer Scientist. Since college, he has run his own networking business, worked as laboratory technician, taught martial arts, and traveled for several years as a software engineering consultant. Currently he shares his time between software architecture, web design and slaving away over outlines for new manuscripts ... when he's not keeping his cat off his keyboard.

During that time he has written several fantasy and science fiction short stories, a fantasy/murder mystery novel and several poems. His first novel, Kinloch, was published in May, 2004. The Tales of the Brass Griffin series is his latest work. To find out more, visit: http://www.cb-ash.com
