J. Word grew up in the areas of Watts and Compton in Southern California. Along with a love for technology (taking things apart to see how they worked), reading and writing were his favorite ways to pass the time. 

Nowadays he spends his days working in technology, and his nights writing out the stories that pop into his head. The rest of the time when he isn’t having hours long conversations with his sons about nothing in particular, he’s figuring out goofy ways to both make his wife laugh and keep his cat from shedding on his clothes.
