Meet the author

H ello friends and travelers. I'm J.J. Van Es, writer of faith-infused fantasy. My stories of resilience, romance, and faith drive every page I write, spinning believable tales that might have happened.

The desire to create comes from our Creator, who gifted me with a complex, world-building imagination. My stories are a way of giving back that gift to readers who enjoy exciting new realms where fantasy entertains and redemption matters. 

My debut Viking-era fantasy,

Queen of Kwandun Island (Working Title) is coming.
