About JD

J.D. Ruffin is the author of multiple bestselling novels, including the epic fantasy series, the Kingdom War.

Ironically, J.D. never really enjoyed reading until a friend loaned him a dog-eared copy of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Fellowship of the Ring. From that day, he was hooked, discovering fantasy authors Robert Jordan, Brandon Sanderson, Robin Hobb, Terry Goodkind and many, many others.

Becoming an author was never part of the master plan, but…

As a fourteen-year-old nerdy boy, J.D. and his friends would gather around the D&D dice for hours on end, trading reality for fantasy, if only in their minds. In his quest to “stump his friends” with an impossible campaign, he dreamed up a storyline that captured his imagination.

Then… well… nothing happened. He grew up and went to work in a completely different world.

Too many years later, that story pulled at the corner of his mind, demanding to be heard… to be written.

Hence, an author was born.
