J. Kirsch is an avid writer, traveler, and dog lover. He grew up near Chicago raised by two librarians with a love for storytelling, and his adventures have taken him to Japan, China, New Zealand, Scotland, and beyond. He has published a variety of novels, novellas, and dozens of short stories.
His stories have been featured on The Book Cave, received praise from a Black Orchid award winner, and reached the 'New Adult' bestseller lists for both Amazon and Smashwords. He is also a Jacksonville Public Library ‘Author of the Year’ award winner. He currently lives in Illinois with his talented wife and far too many bookcases -- the kind with shelves that groan with books, puzzles, and board games galore.
