J.T. Evans arrived on this planet and developed into an adult in the desolate, desert-dominated oil fields of west Texas. After a year in San Antonio, he spent a year in the northern tundra of Montana. This year-long stint prepared him for the cold (yet mild compared to Montana) climate of the Front Range of Colorado.

He has thrived in The Centennial State since 1998 with his lovely Montana-native wife and rapidly growing man-child. He primarily pays the bills by keeping computers secure. Like most writers, he dreams of earning enough income via publications to drop the Day Job and prosper.

He is the author of the Modern Mythology and Flashing Blades series and is hastily working on more right now.

He is the author of the Modern Mythology and Flashing Blades series and is hastily working on more right now.

J.T. rekindled his love for writing with his discovery of the Colorado Springs Fiction Writers Group in 2006. He was the president of the organization from January 2009 to January 2013. Even though he’s no longer part of the CSFWG, he has continued writing and expanding his knowledge of the business and craft.

J.T. is also a member of Pikes Peak Writers, which he joined in 2008. J.T. was elected the vice president of PPW in January of 2013, and stepped into the role of president of PPW in September of the same year. In April of 2017, he resigned from the role of president.

He joined the Gnome Stew Crew in March of 2016. Since that time, he has written dozens of articles for the site and has earned three Gold ENnie awards (2016, 2017, and 2018) as part of the team at Gnome Stew.

When not flinging code at the screen or throwing words at the wall, he enjoys role playing games, but dislikes anything related long walks on the beach. His favorite genres to write in are fantasy and urban fantasy, but he writes the occasional science fiction or horror short story.

J.T. once held 13 different jobs in a single year, and at the age of 15, his right arm was amputated in a violent car wreck. Don’t worry. He’s become more stable in the job area, and the arm was successfully reattached shortly after the car crash. ...more

How do you deal with writer’s block?

There are times when I want to write a scene that is in my near future more than the scene I have in front of my at the moment. Since I have to write in a linear fashion, this means I can't skip the "not fun" scene. When this happens, I ask myself, "How can pump more enjoyment into this scene for ME?" This invariably adds more enjoyment and fun into those scenes for the reader, and I'm able to more quickly get through those scenes and on to the one I'm really looking forward to.(less)

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

The truth is: Just like everyone else, I've been through highs and lows in my life. Many lows. Depths I can barely fathom. The only way I could handle them on a day-to-day basis was to escape by reading fiction. It gave my mind and emotions and soul a chance to simmer down and get immersed into something that wasn't the problem of the day. I hope to provide a similar escape for my readers. I want them to find a way to leave behind the worries of the real world by exploring my world (or my take on the real world) for a few hours.(less)
