Justin Rishel

I’m Justin Rishel, author of thrillers, science fiction, and technothriller novels. I like to think my writing is similar to that of Michael Crichton, Blake Crouch, AG Riddle, and Matthew Mather. I prefer to write (and read) in a world that is 100% plausible with a firm base in reality but layered with science or technology that raises the stakes for our hero. The ideas I like to explore are those which I believe are entirely possible, if not probable, in our world to come.

Before I started writing, I was a teacher, a U.S. Marine, a woodworker (shoutout to J Rishel Woodworks), and a corporate schmuck. I’m still a schmuck sometimes, but in writing, I’ve truly found my passion. I find it fulfilling in ways nothing else, job-wise, has ever felt.
