Brief Author Bio:

For ten years, out of highschool, JD ran and later owned an automotive repair shop in Seattle. He really didn't like it. In 2007 he decided to leave all of that behind and change horses mid-stream. Now he sells commercial real estate (well he'll actually sell anything because wow what a terrible time to get into real estate).

In 2008 he took up gardening, visited Alaska, became interested in the distillation of fine whiskey (and excited by the new washington state laws to that end) and adopted two tiny puppies, which at the ripe old age of five months have officially driven him to wits end. (which may or may not be a bad place to be for writing a novel in 30 days)
