The Ward of Heaven and the Wyrm in the Sea
Colin Cutler’s love of Germanic literature and mythology began when he discovered Beowulf at 12, and this interest received further impetus from studying Tolkien and his sources in the Anglo-Saxon, Norse, and Finnish tales. Dubbed Patrick Henry College’s “warrior-poet” for being the only Literature major in Army ROTC, he graduated in 2010 with a degree in Literature, which he plans to eventually turn into a graduate school and teaching career.  In the meantime, Colin has settled in the foothills of Loudoun County, VA, where he works, serves in the Army National Guard and is a member at Ketoctin Covenant Presbyterian Church. His hobbies are reading, writing, front-porch-sitting, gardening, making good food and music with friends, and going for rambles in the country with his fiancee, Elizabeth.
