Ethan Blake graduated from the College of the Arts at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. As a child, he had several terrifying encounters with the paranormal that included full-bodied apparitions, poltergeist activity, and disembodied voices. Contact with the other side has been the driving force in much of his writings and beliefs; and over the years, writing music became a therapeutic and spiritual conduit, allowing him to connect to the world in a deeper, more meaningful way. Ultimately, this led to his pursuit of a degree in music and his ambition to write his first horror novel.
