Otto Schafer grew up exploring the small historic town in central Illinois featured in the God Stones series. If you visit Petersburg, Illinois you may find locations familiar from the books. You may even discover, as Otto did, that history has left behind cleverly hidden traces of magic, whispered secrets, and untold treasures.
Otto and his loving wife reside in a quiet log cabin tucked away in the woods. When Otto isn’t writing you can often find him running the forest trails near his home, deep in a tangle of thoughts he’ll need to rush home to put on paper.
