Welcome! I'm John—fantasy writer, surgical technician, cybersecurity student, Army veteran, D&D enthusiast, and full-time dad of four amazing kids. I wear a lot of hats, but storytelling is the one that’s never left me.

For years, The Riftwalker Legacy lived in my head. I wrote chapters, lost them in a hard drive crash, rewrote them, got distracted by life, and kept coming back to this world—because it refused to stay buried. This story demanded to be told. So now, after setbacks, career changes, and late-night writing sessions between parenting and schoolwork, it’s finally coming to life.

My journey isn’t about chasing fame. It’s about showing my kids—and maybe you—that no matter where you start or how many times life knocks you off course, persistence wins. I’m building this world one page at a time, and I’m inviting readers to be part of the process.

If you love stories with heart, grit, and just a touch of chaos—stick around. You’ll find rift magic, ancient bloodlines, demonic queens, and a reluctant hero named Jaxel Cain who’s trying to figure out where he belongs between two worlds.

Thanks for being here. Let’s make something epic together.
