John Van Vliet - Writer

Historical fiction and fantasy - home of the Thornridge series,
the Etruscus series, and all manner of whimsy.

About The Author

Born and bred in New Jersey but fond of traveling to new places (and eras).  John has had a life-long passion for storytelling, growing up in a family of artists, musicians, and tellers of tall tales.  He began writing his first stories starting as comic strips at age 8 and produced his first full-length science fiction story at 12.  Since then, his love for the past has blossomed into historical fiction writing with a particular emphasis bringing both the famous as well as the obscure into living light.  He graduated from Fairleigh Dickinson University with a degree in Political Science and finds great inspiration in the events which shaped our world.  With attention to historical detail having a place of pride, John is also known to embrace the whimsical, the mystical, and the mysterious in his writings.
