As many of my readers and authors know I have been swamped with amazing book requests, more than you can even imagine!! And I truly hate turning great indie authors away. SOOOO, in an effort to make sure that more of my readers get to learn about great indie authors and more of the great indie authors get their books read I started looking for some help. AND, I found it. I hope all of you will enjoy his reviews and offer feedback as you have done with mine and make him feel welcome. So without further delay, I would like to introduce to all of you by way of posting a little about him, J.B. Maynard.
J.B. Maynard
Hi, my name is Jason. I’m a 34 year old writer, originally from Miami. I’ve lived in Florida all of my life. Yeah, I suppose that’s kind of limited; however, I do love it here and I am a firm believer in “wherever you go, there you are.” Time to do some more traveling…
I have always been into books, for as long as I can remember, picking apart and praising them for their intricacies and atrocities. When I was in my teens I ran a small, local comic company, which I illustrated and wrote for on a monthly basis, but my writing passion wasn’t truly ignited until I got a hold of a character sheet that my wife, Noel, wrote for me.
It had been a long day, and we had a Dungeons and Dragons game tomorrow. Needless to say, I didn’t feel like filling out my character info and back-story. Noel offered to pick it up, and as much as I don’t like to pass the buck, I said sure. The next day, she had completed the sheet, but Noel wrote my character, Attis’, back-story much in the style of a traditional novel. I loved it! From there I kept expanding on the story and branching off into other ideas. Three books and many years later, I have realized my calling and I never stopped writing what I love – fiction.
I write and read: fantasy, sci-fi, young adult, and horror. There’s really no limit to what I’ll try, as far as literature goes. Some of my favorites include: The Night Circus, Odd Thomas; Sookie Stackhouse novels, House Of Night; Deadfall Hotel, Doctor Sleep; The Icewindale trilogy, and Gates Of Thorbardin.
Inspiration can come from anywhere, at any time. I am always looking, listening for that next idea. As soon as they come to me, I will happily share them with the world.
