THE LOST DIARY OF GIL STANFORD expands the story’s darker psychological undercurrents, offering an intimate and unsettling look into the mind of one of the novel’s most complicated figures.

In addition to his long fiction, Jonathan’s short fiction has appeared in GHOSTLIGHT: THE MAGAZINE OF TERROR, DARK DOSSIER #32, and THE DEVIL’S DOORBELL: AN ANTHOLOGY OF DARKEST ROMANCE.

He holds nineteen patents for industrial software applications and has also worked with startups in the commercial security and real estate technology sectors.

Jonathan lives in the Cleveland, Ohio area with his wife and two sons. He draws creative inspiration from the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail in Cuyahoga Valley National Park—the real-world setting that inspired THE TOWPATH.
