About the author

Hi, I’m J.B. Corgard — a sci-fi/fantasy author, gamer, and unapologetic world-builder from Sheboygan, WI. I’ve always been fascinated by the way stories can reshape the world around us, letting us explore questions of survival, identity, and belonging through new realms. Writing is how I open doors to those realms and invite others inside.

I grew up loving stories that blended the impossible with the human — from epic adventures like Lord of the Rings to immersive games like Fallout: New Vegas. Those influences shaped how I write today: worlds that feel lived-in, layered with danger and wonder, where every character’s choices matter.

Outside of writing, I’m a collector of experiences. I love thrifting for treasures that spark inspiration, hiking trails that remind me of the vastness of the world, and cooking (though mac & cheese will always be my comfort go-to). I’m also not shy about color — pink is my favorite, because even in the coldest worlds, a little brightness belongs.

For me, being an author isn’t just about telling stories — it’s about building worlds rich enough that readers feel like they could step into them. That’s what I strive to do with every project I take on.
