J D BrownI have always been fascinated by horror, especially the kind that blends the paranormal with suspense. Equally, I've long been drawn to period settings, whether in drama, history, or true events. My greatest joy as a writer is bringing these passionstogether, shaping stories where past and present collide to create what I like to call a terrifier of two worlds. My love of writing began after reading a handful of horror novels just for fun. Before long, I was completely hooked, and with encouragement from my uncle, I began crafting stories of my own.
