Joseph Asphahani, a local author, peddling dark, epic fantasy-sci-fi in which animals commit violent acts, much like humanity, and hopefully learn from their mistakes, much like humanity.

Joseph Asphahani, has been dreaming of worlds all his life and has managed to capture a few in the pages of his dark, epic fantasy sci-fi novel series “The Animal in Man.” He comes to the convention with the first two books –Violent Mind, and Ferocious Heart — as well as supplemental art prints of the prominent characters, the fox spy, the snake assassin, the rhino warrior, the octopus samurai, and the wolf wizard. I’d say he was just making this up, but… well, actually he did.
