Hi, I’m J.D. Kinzel.

I’m a bit of a Colorado cliché.

I was born in Texas, but moved to the mountains with my wife and two pups.

With a childhood in Japan and a year working abroad in Australia, I’ve developed a strong passion for travel.

I’ve been writing since I was a child.

It began with a draw-and-write story in second grade, which followed a unicorn who lost her sister. In high school, I began to write full-length fantasy novels.

I studied creative fiction in college.

While there, I won 1st place in my college’s short fiction contest. I went on to graduate college with a Business degree and a minor in Creative Writing.

Now, I’m building an author career.

Since college, I’ve attended several writing conferences, such as DFWCon and RMFW Gold. With the experience from these and everything else so far, I’ve launched my career as an indie author.

If you’d like to follow my journey, consider joining J.D.’s Journal.

Otherwise, feel free to get in touch.
