Jonathan Ficke lives outside of Milwaukee, Wisconsin with his beautiful wife. He graduated from Marquette University with a degree in public relations, which (in a manner of speaking) is another form of speculative storytelling.
His older brother introduced him to Tolkien at a young age, and, despite his book shelf’s persistent pleas for mercy, he’s voraciously consumed the genre ever since.
His work has appeared in Writers of the Future, Vol. 34 , three times in Mad Scientist Journal (read one story here , and another here ), and Tales of Ruma .
When he’s not reading or writing, he is turning lumber into sawdust and, when all goes according to plan, furniture.
