Dylan Roche is a professional full-time journalist, blogger, and novelist who writes as a way of supporting his adventurous running habit, having completed marathons, ultramarathons, and triathlons. His award-winning work has been published with regional and national publications both online and in print. When he isn't writing content for websites and magazines, he can usually be found working on a fantasy novel—his debut, The Purple Bird, came out in 2019 and his second book, The Tide and the Stars, is slated for a 2023 release.
