Ray Strong is the award-winning author of The Dragons’ War, an epic fantasy series that launched in 2025 with Zephyr’s Flight. He began his writing journey with newspaper stories in Chicago before earning a graduate degree in engineering. That path took him around the world, where he learned from many different cultures and ways of life. Ray now lives on the West Coast with his wife and their three children, who once spent rainy afternoons acting out scenes from Castle in the Sky. Today, he writes full time, building rich worlds full of adventure, mythology, and magic.
