Randal Woten

Born in Lima, Ohio and raised across the United States, I discovered early on what a good story can do. It can cure loneliness or boredom, offer advice, and let us see the world through someone else’s eyes.

I started writing short stories in old spiral notebooks, late at night. Since then, storytelling has taken me from sketch comedy and independent film to podcasts, movie reviews, and the books you see here.

In 2016, I published my first collection, Farewell Forever. More books followed, including the collaborative Midnight Nexus series and The Way North, a story my father began more than thirty years ago and that I had the honor of finishing.

I’m still working on new stories, co-hosting The Last Round-Up Podcast, and talking movies. I know one thing for certain: I’ll never quit writing. It’s good for the soul.
