J. E. Horn
J. E. Horn was born and raised in Alaska. In 7th grade his family began moving back and forth between Alaska and Iowa giving him strong ties to both states. Over the years he has been a dishwasher, cook, commercial fisherman, Assistant Srgt. of Arms for the House of Representatives for the State of Alaska (mouthfull), construction worker, penny poor law student, and attorney.
His third grade teacher introduced him to the Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis. In the 4th grade he was banished to home confinement after contracting chicken pox where he read The Prydain Chronicles by Lloyd Alexander and was officially hooked. What followed were years of reading every fantasy and science fiction book he could get his hands on. In 7th grade he was encouraged to write by his journalism teacher and that pretty much started the ball rolling.
He was exposed to the horrors of Meth addiction in his legal career as a family law advocate. He experienced firsthand the devastating role Meth can play in the destruction of families, the abuse of children and spouses, and the erosion of the human soul. He taps these experiences in his first book which speculates on a fictional conspiracy where the Meth epidemic is traced to another world filled with magic, ancient evil, human misery, and hope. The book is entitled, The Meth Conspiracy. In his second book, Memories of Meth he continues the story of Jonathan Champion.
He lives in the Chicago Suburbs with his wife and two children and prays daily for a Cubs World Series. When not writing or practicing law, he is a fulltime gymnastics/golf/baseball/swim dad for his kids.
