T.J. Stufflebeam dove into his first fantasy novel when he was eight years old—Redwall. Years later, the Hobbit, Eragon, and the rest of the Redwall series were avidly read. Harnessing the power of his library card, he grabbed as many fantasy and adventure books that he could find. With a vivid imagination, T.J. was caught by teachers and parents daydreaming on a regular basis. In his 20s, his best friend asked him to try out for a play Dracula the Musical. This lead to him performing in multiple dramas, musicals, and diving into improv more. His father discovered T.J.'s love for storytelling, helping to guide T.J. to developing his talent more. When he was 26, T.J sat down and started to work on his first full-length book with the goal of publishing. Two years later he held Legacy of the Highborn in his hands. T.J. is a part of the Tiktok author community uploading author tips and tricks with the occasional normal life video. Outside of storytelling, T.J. can be found playing tabletop games, competing in Virtual Reality, and playing club soccer. Occasionally you'll find him at a Con either in his Spider-Man or Power Rangers Cosplay. He's tackled several Role Playing Game campaigns narrowly escaping with his character's life. So, really, he can fly his nerd flag with pretty much anyone, and frequently does. Settled in Orem, Utah near his family. T.J works in Cyber Security in helping victims of Identity Theft. With no spouse, pets, T.J. mainly spends his nights writing into the dark of the night. Follow on Facebook: facebook.com/stufflebooks
