Welcome, Traveler!
Meet The Author!
Greetings, Fellow Explorers of Imagination!
I'm Jeffrey Johnson Jr., your guide through the realms of epic fantasy as the writer, creator, and letterer of "Ennead: The Rule of Nine." When I'm immersed in the world of storytelling, you can call me J.L., "Writer of Novels, Creator of Comics. Second of his name." Blame it on my countless readings of A Song of Ice and Fire – a series that has left an indelible mark on my storytelling soul.
Beyond the quills and parchment, you'll find me enjoying moments with my wife Jess, our little adventurer Olive, the ever-playful Lab-Mix Ruthie, and the feline sovereigns Quinn and Sansa.
Meet the Editorial Maestro:
For many of the tales woven on this platform prior to 5/31/2023, much credit is due to the talented Christa Harader. Armed with a B.A. in English Literature and an MFA in Creative Writing, Christa lends their expertise in script edits and serves as the essential second set of eyes.
You might recognize Christa from bylines in PanelxPanel, Multiversity Comics, Comic Book Yeti, Comfort Food Comics, The Valkyries, and Outright Geekery. In their spare moments, they indulge in blogging about horror films, comics, and pulp lit.
