J.W.G. Stout

From a young age, I've been fascinated by the paranormal, ghosts, vampires, werewolves, witches, and other dark creatures. My love for the paranormal began with classic Brothers Grimm tales, Mary Shelly, Bram Stoker, J.R.R. Tolkien, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and later, Anne Rice and countless others. Maleficent was one of my favorite characters and still is. The misunderstanding of why she was perceived as evil, and the idea that, even though her character was portrayed as dark, there was hidden trauma. This is why her character is seen as flawed.

I try to bring that thinking into my books and characters, and I always lean toward the darker side of life, looking for a glimpse of light, maybe a redeemable trait, in my characters.

Beyond my love for the paranormal, I love adventure and try to find the fun in whatever I do, drawing inspiration from movies like Indiana Jones, Gladiator, and Underworld, to name a few.

I'm the author of The Delta’s Daughter, the sequel Rise of a Queen, The Gladiator Wolf King, and the latest in the series, Hunji: A Broken Wolf & the Last Witch of Andora.

I was born in the USA and raised in the United Kingdom, and you can find the difference between the two cultural writing styles reflected in my writing.

Before becoming a full-time writer, I ran my own apparel and merchandise printing business. I enjoy spending time with family and friends and, most of all, curling up with a good book and my three dogs, Venus, Apollo Creed, and Atlas.
