ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

C. D. Jensen earned his PhD from the University of Connecticut in 2015. In the intervening years, he has published more than a hundred scientific abstracts and manuscripts, and he serves the academic community as a tenured professor of physiology and epidemiology. But his first and truest love is fantasy literature. The Crown and the Caged God is Jensen's fantasy book series, which combines his two great passions: fantasy and the natural sciences. But mostly fantasy. 100% of Jensen's work (every idea, word, and illustration) is 100% human.
