Craig Zerf

Craig Zerf is a self-published author of fantasy and LitRPG fiction whose career stretches back to at least the mid-2000s, when he published the comic fantasy novel Plob. He has since built a wide-ranging catalog that includes the LitRPG series RPG Hero for Hire and The RPG Citadel Protocol, the fantasy sequence The Forever Man, and the urban-fantasy Emily Shadowhunter and Chainbound Wolf books. Zerf's fiction spans traditional epic fantasy, comic fantasy, and game-inspired progression storytelling, reflecting a writer who has moved with the changing tastes of the self-published fantasy market over roughly two decades. With nearly forty titles across eight series, he remains an active, prolific voice in independent fantasy publishing, though detailed biographical information about him is not widely available.
