J.D. Wright

Biography

Writing has always been a hobby of mine, beginning as a young child. It was a way to cope with losing my father at seven years of age. I started with poetry and was featured several times on the amazing poetry blog, Autumn Leaves, by Sondra Ball. My love for poetry soon led to writing songs in middle school and beyond, which I still do occasionally. Music has always been an important part of my existence, so writing songs came naturally to me. In high school, I started my own novel, however, life got in the way and I never finished it.

Fast forward many years later and I find myself married with four children, absorbed in my busy life with commitments to my family, work, school, church, and charities, among other things. One day I came across my old binder, with notes from my first novel, and it was with those notes that I conjured up the elusive Everealm.

I write to please readers such as myself, who have a love for fantasy and romance, but like a little danger and sex in their reading. I wrote the book with a mature audience in mind, who can appreciate a hearty imaginary world with magic and the unknown, but want more than fluffy love stories with wizards in them. They want the romance, magic, and danger, all wrapped into one.

Smashwords Interview

Was it your dream to be a writer?
Heck no! I always thought I would spent the majority of my life in the military and left for bootcamp immediately after I turned eighteen. After a few years, marriage, and children, my priorities changed. I left the military and went back to school, but no, it wasn't for writing. Several more years later, I found myself needing to do something entirely for, well, myself. So I picked up writing again.
Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
I actually started out writing poetry, and I do remember the first poem I ever wrote. It was about the loss of my father, who was killed when I was a child. After that one, the rest of the poems, songs, and stories are a blur...
