About Karl

Karl Dreyer Jr. was born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, but his story truly began in the rugged mining town of Bagdad, Arizona, where he spent the first ten years of his life dreaming of becoming a filmmaker. Though that dream never took shape, his passion for storytelling never faded.

Returning to Lancaster with his mother and grandmother, Karl finished high school before embarking on a successful twenty-five-year career as a software developer and engineer. Yet, the call of storytelling remained. In 2017, at the age of forty-seven, he finally embraced his childhood dream, trading code for prose.

His debut novel, Liberation, marks the beginning of The Ricklan Saga, a thrilling journey he is eager to continue as he works on the second volume.
