Izzy Vera grew up in Houston, Texas, and now calls Austin home. While working as a registered nurse by day, his evenings are filled with world-building, plot-twisting, and character-creating.

Sign Of The STRIGINE is Izzy’s debut novel—a gritty blend of steampunk, fantasy, and mystery with high-stakes drama and pulse-pounding suspense.

Fascinated by loyalty, justice, and the thin line between order and chaos, Izzy draws inspiration from his professional background in healthcare, his lifelong love of storytelling, and the rich culture of speculative fiction.

When he’s not writing or saving lives, Izzy can be found reading (voraciously), gaming, or crafting future worlds one page at a time.
