J.D. Ruffin is the bestselling author of the "Kingdom War" series, an acclaimed epic fantasy launched in 2021. His journey into writing began unexpectedly, sparked by a childhood passion for Dungeons & Dragons and a late-blooming love for fantasy literature after discovering J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Fellowship of the Ring." Ruffin's imaginative storytelling, honed through years of crafting intricate D&D campaigns, eventually led him to transform his ideas into novels.
Ruffin's writing is deeply rooted in the fantasy genre, drawing inspiration from renowned authors like Robert Jordan, Brandon Sanderson, and R.A. Salvatore. Though he initially pursued a different career path, the persistent pull of his childhood story ideas compelled him to become an author. Today, he resides in Florida with his partner and three Australian shepherds. When not writing, Ruffin enjoys tennis, gourmet cooking, and traveling.
