Rhett Sinnema

Rhett is the author of Swordlords and Sorcerers of Semble, a book about what it takes to become a hero. It’s the first in a series that blends everything he loves from Sword and Sorcery, Epic, Cozy, and Progression Fantasy. He loves exploring heroism, honour, virtue, and redemption and examining characters who embrace or reject these values and aspirations. He believes that both happy endings and tragedies have their place and that small stories can change your life more profoundly than big ones.

​

Born in Durban, he earned a philosophy degree, and over the next decade, he

did everything from pulling pints and waiting tables to selling toilets, writing articles and SEO, and trading stocks.

​

When not writing, he’s usually trying to pick up something heavy, get to the top of a mountain, discuss books and movies, or search for new recipes. He lives in Cape Town with his wife, debating what they should make for dinner.
