Hey there.

My name is J. B. Young, and I am a scifi/fantasy writer based in the PNW. Grab a beverage, pull up a comfy chair, and stay awhile.

 

Here you will find stories set in the Switchverse, a futuristic fantasy world populated by psychics, superheroes, and space elves. They revolve around Pax Warkin, a barista turned reluctant hero as he attempts to live a normal life between fighting villains and solving mysteries, all while managing a coffee shop and its eccentric regulars.

You’ll also get a peek into The First Vampire, my gothic fantasy epic. The first book has been drafted and is currently in rewrites, with two more books planned. I hope you will stick around as I figure out how to take a story from idea to published series.

  • Switch!
