About

J.L. Comes (he/they) is a queer Adult/YA Fantasy & SciFi writer originally from the small southern town of Portsmouth, VA.

With a BA in Music from Coastal Carolina University and a resume full of theatre productions, they allow their vast life experiences and issues to influence all forms of their writing; from anxiety and body dysmorphia, to surviving cancer and drug-induced depression, to religious trauma and dealing with emotional/verbal abuse.

Now residing in Los Angeles, CA as a SAG-AFTRA actor, he focuses on perfecting his gluten-free bakes, watches reruns of Charmed from the elliptical at his local gym, and stares off into space to see his stories unfold in his head instead of actually writing them down. His words can now be found in Handbasket Zine and Bookish Brews blog (@handbasketzine & @amandabrews on Instagram, respectively).
