J.D. Estrada

After years working in advertising, JD Estrada decided there were better ways to write fiction. Born on August 13th, he shares birthdays with Alfred Hitchcock and Fidel Castro... an interesting coincidence since his mom was Cuban and he loves a good story.

Truth be told, he always dreamt about being an inventor, he just didn't know he'd end up doing it using words. Where some people choose to invent new products, he has chosen to invent worlds through words.

In college, he studied psychology for 3 years before he realized that if he finished, he’d need a psychologist for himself. Not being too enticed by the whole full circle nature of that equation, he switched to Marketing, Advertising... and Psychology. He just couldn’t let it go.

An avid reader of Science Fiction and Fantasy, throughout his life, he’s always loved writing and connecting with people. Mind you, although he loves those genres, his reading tastes are as eclectic as his musical passions. So, from rock to salsa to classical music, he also reads and writes in a variety of genres and is just as satisfied writing a review or a poem as he is working on his next novel. His blog is called For Writing out Loud and on which he connects with fellow readers who share the passions of writing and connecting.

This obsession with the human aspect of who we are is deeply embedded in all his work and his first book is no exception. Though still starting its journey towards the top 100 Amazon books, all in all, he’s released 22 books, including the Human Cycle urban fantasy series, a bilingual compilation of essays, poetry and short stories, and a wide variety of poetry collections. He has also published adventures for younger readers in both novel and short story form. You can find Estrada in most major social media platforms under @jdestradawriter.

His favorite band is Pearl Jam, he was born in Puerto Rico, he bodyboards and to him, playing a guitar is as therapeutic as a notebook. So visit, say hi, and connect.

He hopes you are doing well and that you enjoy your visit to any of the literary planets he has lovingly crafted.
