J. D. Richards

J.D. is fascinated by the liminal spaces within the human experience, and writing is the perfect medium to explore those spaces. His work focuses on neurodivergent characters who live "in-between" worlds. The Blue Jewel (2019) is his debut novel. His sci-fi noir, The Emerald Princess (2021), is set in the same universe but about a generation after the events of the Blue Jewel. His third novel, Bill's Bytes (2023), is a contemporary buddy road trip adventure that he wrote while hiding from his other manuscript that was giving him nightmares (literally! It’s a horror novel, and you can expect it soon-ish).

J.D., his artist-illustrator sweetheart Corina, and their family love life in Arizona. They enjoy reading, doodling, and playing guitar. Their house is full of books, quiet reading spaces, a napping cat, and two rambunctious toddlers.
