edit data

Jonathan Edward Durham was born near Philadelphia in one of many satellite rust-belt communities where he read voraciously throughout his youth. After attending William & Mary, where he received a degree in neuroscience, Jonathan waded into the professional world before deciding he was better suited for more artistic pursuits.

He now lives with his partner in California where he writes to bring a unique voice to the space between the timeless wonder of his favorite childhood stories and the pop sensibilities of his adolescent literary indulgences. His debut novel, Winterset Hollow, an elevated contemporary fantasy with a dark twist, is mined from that same vein and is currently available everywhere.

Bing's depressive nature, Runny's anxiety, Flackwell's imposter syndrome, and Finn's rage...and of course Eamon's sense of always feeling like an outsider...those are all things that I'm patently familiar with.(less)

But hey, a mystery series where the main character is a neurotic, gay, homebody of a writer who hates being interrupted yet keeps getting dragged into mystery after mystery is not a bad platform for some intrepid author!(less)

How I Deal With Writer's Block...

Those two words. I don't even want to write them. I don't even want to think them. Even the very mention is enough to send shivers up the most successful writers' spines and set their knees knocking. Writer's block is a truly terrifying prospect and it's something we've all had to deal with at one time or another…but if you've dealt with it enough, hopefully you've learned a trick or two to turn t Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Jonathan Edward Durham (?)

“You know, it’s been said that you should never meet your heroes, but I say better to know whom you place on that pedestal, don’t you agree?”

“Life’s a funny thing, isn’t it? You spend it waiting for that one blinding moment of clarity … that one magic thread that sews it all together. And then one day, you wake up an older thing than you ever thought you’d be, and you realize you’ve wasted your days looking for something that was never really there at all. There are no solutions in this life, Eamon. There are only moments in the sun … and moments in the shade … and the trick of it all is to understand where you’re standing before it’s too late to call it home. I wish you peace in the fields beyond, because you will not find it here.”
― Jonathan Edward Durham, Winterset Hollow
