Jake has been interested in creative storytelling since he was in elementary school, when he wrote and drew his own comic books and sold them to his peers on the playground for a quarter a pop. He's always been fascinated with fantasy in any medium, and these two loves inspired him to enter and win an online short-story contest in college. After working as a journalist for a decade and refining his worldbuilding chops through game mastering tabletop roleplaying games, Jake decided to begin publishing his creative writing and finally get his work out to the public. Jake lives in southern Wisconsin with his wife and four children.

For over ten years, Jake has been carefully crafting a fantasy world all his own. The result is the Lost Apocrypha, a rich, deep setting filled with unique cultures and kingdoms, creatures and monsters, magic systems, religions, history, inventions, and so much more. In the interest of exploring as much of this project as possible, Jake plans to release several standalone stories set in this one world before eventually authoring a full-fledged novel series.
