JD Hart

JD Hart’s own fantasy adventure began when, during college, The Hobbit was literally dropped in his lap. With the turn of that book’s first page, he was forever bound to worlds of magic, dragons, and epic adventures. After many years working as a software manager, engineer, and organizational change consultant, he has decided to leave the fast-paced, high-tech world behind. His new adventure is writing imaginary tales that explore humanity’s immense diversity in philosophy, and our connections to each other and to the natural world.

His debut series, Return of the Dragonbonded, introduces readers to the distant lands of the Harmonics and the Anarchists, home to Shamans and Necromancers, Rangers and Assassins, Warriors and Barbarians, Sorcerers and Warlocks—and, of course, those who bond with dragons.

An avid nature hiker, Jim can be found most days blazing some mountainous trail as he discovers ways to return to that simpler lifestyle of childhood. And when he's not hiking, he likes to fill his time in meditation or writing, sharing, discussing, and learning about works of fantasy.
