Blake Dillon is the pen name of a recovering government official turned storyteller and novelist who believes fiction can serve as both warning and compass. A former urban planner and resource manager, Blake spent over three decades facilitating public decisions across local governments. Trained to write with analytical clarity and an impartial tone, Blake now turns to fiction to explore what happens when neutrality is no longer required.

When not writing, Blake enjoys animated conversations with friends and family, feeding the soul with music and dance, diving into various artistic pursuits, and instigating mischief and often hazardous adventures. Whether climbing mountains with dogs or a pack of friends, Blake draws inspiration from the natural world, the rhythm of shared laughter and music, and the quiet spirit that moves through all life. Once young and idealistic, Blake hoped to change the world; now older and wiser, Blake realizes true transformation begins within our collective selves.
