Wayne Elsner is a retired geologist from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. He and his wife Carrole have three grown children and four grandsons. Since retiring in 2007, Wayne has embraced two passions: writing novels and traveling the world.

Over the years, he has written eighteen novels, with five published to date, including the first four installments of the Tannion Series: Tannion, Tannion Stepping Out, Tannion Donning Gray, and Tannion Future Past. All of Wayne’s books are available on Amazon.

His latest release is Talanhold: The Chosen One, the first book in a young adult fantasy trilogy. Published by Pegasus Publishers in London, England, Talanhold marks an exciting new direction in Wayne's storytelling journey.

Wayne and Carrole share a love of travel and have explored more than ninety countries together, though their grandsons might argue it's time they stayed put for a while.
