A.R. Kahler is a well known American author, who is popular for his successful novels based on the young adult, fantasy, and new adult genres. Kahler was born on November 26, 1986 and was inspired from a very young age by the famous works of the prominent authors like J.K. Rowling, Cassandra Clare, Neil Gaiman, Holly Black, as well as a lot of others. He says that apart from being a successful writer, he also works as a circus artist and as a full time wanderer. Kahler was born in a small town situated on the edge of Iowa, as Alex R. Kahler. He likes his hometown very much for its dark chocolates and fine whiskey. He moved out of the town at the age of 16 in order to join a boarding school named Interlochen Arts Academy, as he was very fond of the arts during his growing years. In the final years of his school, Kahler passed out in the subject of creative writing, however, he was not allowed to write about fantasy because of his age. This forced him to go for his higher studies and after bouncing around a few colleges, he enrolled himself at the Bennington College and earned his degree in the year 2010.

Initially, he had to face a lot of problems due to his innate and shiny nature. Despite his interest in creative writing, Kahler studied literature, anthropology, and visual arts. His idea was to remain unemployed after his graduation so that he could do what he was interested in. During that time, he spent some months in Glasgow, Scotland and used to live, study, and work. It was during his stay there that he started working with a number of circus groups. After completing his graduation, Kahler moved to a small Massachusetts town and started his art studio. But, it did not prove to be fruitful for him and hence, he decided to join the Glasgow University for a Masters degree in Creative Writing. During this time, he met with his agent Laurie McLean and after a period of one year, he was able to publish his first novel. He says that this was the much important start that he needed in his writing career as he went on to sell his thesis project of graduation to his publishers.

As of today, author Kahler lives in Seattle, where he works as a full time writer and occasionally indulges in circus and arts activities. He is mostly seen busy with his writing works. Other than being a writer, he is a well established yoga instructor and tries to live his life according to the 8 limbs (ashtangas) of yoga that he learned from the lineage of Baba Hari Dass. Kahler also has an interest in Ayurveda, body work, and planetary Herbalism. He believes in supporting his fellow artists and paying skills forward. Kahler is a homosexual and because of that, most of his recently published works are dedicated towards exploring the homosexual characters in unfavorable scenarios. Besides all this, Kahler is also has interests in mythology, old books with symbols, and folklore. He has a goal in life to travel to different parts of the world and perform with a Scandinavian folk rock band, and also to become a specialist player. The free times and breaks in the life of author Kahler is spent in earning from his fans and friends, and answering to their queries.
