Though Rod R. Garcia was born and raised in San Jose, California (the heart of the Silicon Valley), he ultimately grew up when he cut the proverbial apron strings at the tender age of eighteen, and moved South, to cut his teeth in his personal ‘Mecca’ – ‘Hollywood’.

Originally, Rod aspired to be an actor, though after months upon months of fruitless auditions, (his only offers for work being within the adult film industry), Rod moved onto a new phase of his career, and his ‘Plan B’ turned out to be more fulfilling than he could have ever imagined.

Rod eventually found work at a small, yet highly successful literary agency in Beverly Hills, and over the next several months, he worked as a proofreader, editor, and copywriter. In time, he even took on some agent’s duties. And so it was, that within the walls of a converted aviary in the heart of Beverly Hills, Rod met his life’s calling face to face.

That’s not to say that Rod had never considered writing as a career prior to that particular time in his life, but he had been so deeply enamored with Hollywood, that it seemed a distant second when compared to the glitz and glamour that existed within the warm and inviting glow of the limelight.

Over the years, Rod had held a grand variety of jobs which he feels have prepared him for his chosen career path, giving him a unique set of insights into the world in which we live: Cattle Wrangler, Private Investigator, Personal Chef, Waiter, Bank Auditor, Parking Officer, Hotel Manager, College Counselor, Sales, Customer Service, and Taxi Driver just to name a few.

Rod has recently completed the first book in the ‘indGame’ series, and will soon be wrapping up a sci-chological thriller entitled ‘Iteration’, as well as the ‘Gifted’ superhero trilogy.  About eighty-five additional works are waiting in the wings, all existing in his laptop at some varying stage of completion, and within the great halls his imagination as a complete anthology of completed works.

Rod’s first published work was: “The Bloodline: Birth of the Vampir”, released in August of 2013, and co-written with Shaun McGinnis.

As a successful editor, copywriter, agent, published author, and recently adding voice actor to that list, Rod will bring his unique range of experience to the table along with his extensive list of industry contacts in order to make EpiphanyMill Publishing the most successful small publisher on the market.

Rod is married to his best friend, Erica, and is the proud father of two amazing young adults: Jakob and Jordan, all of whom he loves more than life itself.
