PJC Cahill

P.J.C. Cahill grew up in several different houses, across three different countries, and several states. He was raised on Redwall, Lord of the Rings, Aliens, The Terminator, and the Matrix. He began writing at the age of 14 with a Star Wars fanfic (the second story was a Neon Genesis: Evangelion fanfic). He writes in both fantasy and sci-fi settings, original and fan-based. With nearly 30 years of writing experience in his unofficial capacity, he’s comfortable telling his own style of stories, for good or ill.

He finds all stories most compelling when they’re focused on the characters. This tenant is foundational to all of his writing. Exploring emotional dynamics in found families, trauma, emotional intelligence itself, and the consequences that flow out of all of them are the core of what inspires his writing and interests.

Every story needs a little hook, in his opinion, and he tends to ‘spice up’ his plot-lines with over-the-top fantasy or sci-fi elements (like giant flying robots with beamsabers and plasma cannons). He feels that stories convey the best messages when used to inspire hope and humane treatment of each other and the world around us. Join him for the giant robots, stay for the found-family sisters finally coming home.
