J. L. Young was born to a U.S. Navy First Class Petty Officer. His father taught him to read before he began school, fostering a love of the written word that would shape J. L.'s future. Encouraged by his father, J. L. explored a wide range of literary and cinematic genres. Science intrigued J. L. and inspired his stories. After writing Veiled Stars, Measured Land, and Where the Stars Hang, he embarked on a journey to bring the Silence series to the page.

At sixteen, J. L. began suffering from a debilitating neurological disorder that went undiagnosed for another sixteen years. Despite these challenges, he continued to pursue his passion for writing and completed several novels during this time.

Balor
By J. L. Young
A bird swooped down and landed next to a yellow-haired Labrador Retriever sitting in the sunlight and tucked his wings to his sides. “Hello, Nacho.”
