Hi everyone,
I'm Justin Gilman. I tend to use J. E. Gilman as a pen name, though. I was born and raised in the foothills of Vermont's Green Mountains. I'm also an only child. Active Imagination + Open Rural Setting = Run of the Mill Fantasy Writer. The math doesn't get any simpler than that.
I love telling stories, but admittedly find the act of writing to be a chore. I'm pretty sure I would have made a good bard a millennium ago. Okay, "good" is maybe too strong a word. Decent, maybe? I do know how to read and play music, so if anything I imagine I could have made a living as a minstrel with the hopes of becoming a renown bard. Got to have professional ambitions, right?
Back in the real world, I currently live in Massachusetts. While I do hold down a steady day job, I try to make an effort to write on a regular basis. I also dabble with web coding (you're looking at the fruits of my labor right now!) and crafting small projects out of wood.
If you'd like to contact me, you can reach me using the following:
