Science fiction, fantasy, and apocalyptic author. Kisser of the Blarney Stone...oh and proud host to my very own imaginary dragon, Claude, who lives in my head. Check out the blog for a brief introduction to our scaly friend.
Cj's first series, Tales of the Neverwar, combines magic with science in an ancient battle between good and evil. There's a kick-ass Irish heroine, a band of dimension skipping elite warriors, and dragons. Oh, they are there, even if they don't know it yet. Need to know more? Book TWO ;)
In a departure from his SFF roots, CJ has just released Treaters, a post-apocalyptic/dark fantasy in the realms of Stranger Things and The Walking Dead(but with no zombies). It's available now on Amazon and is free on Kindle Unlimited.

Another great 5-star review!

DISCLAIMER: I am the editor of this novel and also a good friend of the author. Even so - *especially s0* - I can't let this go by without a review. I have watched CJ's writing grow and grow, EXPONENTIALLY. He is so much better at storytelling and plot/character development than he was two years ago! His early novels were imaginative and well-written, but unpolished, raw, in-the-rough versions of Read more of this blog post »

“Yes, Toshi. Spill the peas.”
C.J. Rutherford, Worlds of the Never

“part of each other’s soul to their new mate, as tiny shining sparks fashioned into rings they now wore on their left hands. These would bind them forever together, as their love for each other now existed in an unbreakable token. Tenybris cried with the rest of the crowd gathered around the couple, although the emotions flowing through him were anything but joyous. The rapturous approval of everyone swept over”
C.J. Rutherford, Origins of the Never
