After a creative life in musical pursuits culminating in a CD titled “When The Sun Goes Down…”, the muses shifted J.R's passion to writing. "I wanted a new canvas and a venue that would allow my works to be directly accessible to an audience." Fiction writing seemed the perfect answer to that call. In 2011, he self-published his debut novel “The Unremarkable Uneventful Life of Harvey Henderson”. The book has since received a collection of four and five-star reviews (Amazon, Goodreads).
“The Lazarus Chain”, his second novel, was released in April 2020 and is a suspenseful tale packed with intrigue woven into a fabric of cutting-edge genetic science, religion, and the consequences of eternal physical life.
His latest release, "The Menu: A Mysterious Journey Through Food", was inspired by his culinary passions and desire to share them as the basis for a moving story of renewal and redemption.
