Brandon M. Herbert

Brandon M. Herbert writes fantasy and horror while also working across music, visual art, and photography. Walking Wolf Road is the opening novel of the Wolf Road Chronicles, a young-reader urban fantasy centered on Jimmy Walker, an isolated teenager whose encounter with a new community reshapes his understanding of identity and belonging. The novel combines contemporary life with werewolf lore, Native American-inspired spiritual elements, and questions about loyalty within a chosen pack. Herbert later announced Bearing Raven’s Mark as a continuation that follows Jimmy, Loki, Bo, and Geri into college and expands the series through shamanic realms and supernatural consequences. His wider fiction includes the World of Shadows series, showing a continuing interest in characters who move between ordinary settings and concealed magical worlds. Herbert’s creative profile is therefore broader than a single paranormal premise: his fiction connects adolescent self-discovery, friendship, folklore, and the responsibilities that emerge when personal change affects an entire group.
