Hey there. I'm Jack Anthem, a storyteller, whiskey-sipper, and world-builder with a soft spot for action, mystery, and just enough weird to keep things interesting.

I write stories that are meant to be read, not worshipped. You won't find Shakespeare here-what you will find are secret government departments, half-whispered conspiracy theories, cryptid creatures, and things that go bump in the night... usually right after the lights flicker.

My stories all come out of one connected universe, so don't be surprised if a main character from one book kicks down the door in another.

When I'm not writing, I'm probably watching a movie, hiking through the woods, swimming laps, or unwinding at the range. I like sharing good stories and better whiskey with friends.

If you're into layered universes, grounded characters, and stories that don't take themselves too seriously (but will keep you entertained), you're in the right place.

Thanks for being here and helping keep the weird alive.
- Jack
