JP Bloch

JP Bloch writes novels in the alienist tradition—loners and anti-heroes who never fit in with the status quo. His books are often thrillers and mysteries, sometimes with humor or the supernatural thrown into the mix. But his main characters are people the reader identifies with, as all of us sometimes feel like we don't fit in, and that no one understands our pain.

He lives in Connecticut, where he is an indentured servant to his dog. JP writes on his king-size bed with the fan on. His hobbies include eating cashews while watching TV and overdosing on film noir favorites.

JP has appeared on TV and radio numerous times. On his own since age 15, he also developed a lifelong interest in finding food and shelter. Thus he hopes you will buy his books.

His turn-offs include Brussels sprouts, bigotry, and people who think life is simple. He enjoys people who have gained wisdom from hardship, and ask questions more than they assume answers. Besides novels, he writes poetry, non-fiction and scholarly articles. Tumultuous skies are preferred over sunny ones.
