R.W.J.

I’ve been writing for as long as I can remember. These days, my professional life is occupied by the laborious writings of a mid-career attorney.

I’m hoping to change that.

This portfolio is an attempt to catalog the secret stories and midnight etchings I have always written but—until now—never shared.

I am a fantasy and horror writer in love with imagining how magic and monsters impact the lives of small town people. I want to ground my fantasy in the inter-dependent living of rural community and explore horror through the eyes of relatable, everyday people.

I was raised on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and seek comfort in horror films. I am constantly inspired by the works of Samantha Shannon, Brandon Sanderson, and Kurt Vonnegut. I hope you’ll come along with me and find something you enjoy.
