Hello Happy People,
When you speak with Ulff Lehmann you would only know he has struggled with mental health issues because he is so open about his challenges. Despite the difficulties he faces with his mental health, he projects a friendly and relaxed personality. It’s easy to fall into a comfortable conversation with him about his books and writing. Taking care of his mental health is an important part of his life and writing is a big part of his self-care.
Ulff has been unable to work outside of home for years and writing has given him a creative outlet that expands his world far beyond the walls of his home. His books have given him a reason to reach out and connect with others who have found great value in the world he has built in his epic fantasy, Light in the Dark Series.
Ulff has created a complex, diverse world of dark fantasy that harkens back to the original Grimm Tales where blood is easily spilt and even the heroes can live morally grey lives. Book one, Shattered Dreams, is an excellent introduction to Ulff’s world. If a reader can make it through the first three chapters of this book and still crave more, they will be thoroughly pleased as they work their way through the rest of the series.
Ulff’s work has even received praise from New York Times bestselling fantasy writer Ed Greenwood, who commented that “SHATTERED DREAMS is a rich, layered high fantasy, the beginning of an epic that will be well worth following for years to come. Looming menace, thoughtful world-building; a winner!”
Don't wait, go listen now and hear Ulff's story in his own words.
