Jonathan Gatsby was transported from his troubled youth into unknown lands and the
exciting tales of our favorite heroes when two of his highschool teachers broke from
the mold to encourage him. They instigated a voracious love of reading that opened up new
worlds and opportunities that had previously felt unreachable.
Born in America on August 4
th, 1984, Jonathan’s youth was rife with the difficulties of the time. He is dedicated to using his experiences to nurture and care for others through the various passions that have spanned the course of his life and inform his writing today. He has spent time as a professional boxer, recording artist, preacher, church pianist and, most importantly, a dad.
Jonathan’s love of boxing and music led him to open a boxing gym and piano school.
Having been a writer since the age of fifteen, it was a natural progression for his love of
words to eventually lead him into authorship and the inclusive and escapist fantasy worlds he
inhabits today. Despite his colorful life, Jonathan still feels he doesn't fit in much anywhere,
so he keeps to himself, entwined in a world that he has created.
