J.D. Ruffin is the author of the acclaimed, action-packed Kingdom War series, an epic fantasy launched in 2021. As a fourteen-year-old bespeckled boy, J.D. and his friends would gather around the D&D dice for hours on end, trading reality for fantasy, if only in their minds. In his quest to “stump his friends” with an impossible campaign, he dreamed up a storyline that captured his imagination. Then… well… nothing happened. He grew up and went to work in a completely different world. Too many years later, that story he dreamed pulled at the corner of his mind, demanding to be heard… to be written. Hence, an author was born. J.D. currently lives in Florida with his better half and three Australian shepherds. When not tapping at keys, you'll find him playing tennis, attempting gourmet cheffery, and traveling.
