Gordon.D.Kemper
Epic YA Fantasy Author and Poet.
Reimagining the world, one word at a time.
Welcome Fantasy Fans!
You have come to the right place
I’m Gordon, (known as Ink.Carnation on social media) a fantasy author and poet. Since 2023, I have been creating fantasy stories which are meant to inspire and change the world for the better, one word at a time. Personal growth is something I am passionate about and is reflected in every story I write. If you like Epic fantasy. If you like mature, YA coming-of-age stories. If you like worldbuilding with a distinctive flavour. You are in the right place.
Grab a coffee or tea and browse through my creations. I have taken the upmost care to make each one a unique, fulfilling and thought-provoking experience. My stories, book covers and illustrations have been crafted by me or other human artists, without the use of generative AI. This may mean little to some, but for me this means everything. Thank you for your support and enjoy your stay.
(Ohh, before I forget. Follow me on Substack for think pieces on writing and poetry. My newsletter is cool, too.)

About the author...
Gordon Kemper began his literary journey in 2023, discovering a powerful voice through poetry and storytelling. Drawing from lived experience and imagination, he channels emotion and atmosphere into his poetry collection Whisper Till Sunrise and his fantasy novel The Edge of Destiny. His passion for immersive worlds continues with two ambitious epic fantasy universes slated for release in 2026, including The Constellations of Power, a Greek-zodiac–inspired new adult series, and a unique LitRPG adventure currently in development. When he is not creating fantasy worlds or composing poetry, he enjoys tabletop games, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, climbing, and traveling the world for inspiration. He currently lives in Düsseldorf, Germany.
