J.D. Faircloth is the author of the YA adventure series Stones of Heaven. Originally from northwest Florida, he recently sold everything, reducing his belongings to a storage unit and a backpack, and set out to travel the world while he figures out what he wants to be when he grows up.

When he’s not hiking national parks, exploring ancient ruins, and sampling local cuisine, he enjoys getting his teenage daughter’s eyes rolling with awesome dad-jokes, watching the latest Dude Perfect videos with his son, and washing the dishes after another of his wife’s perfectly prepared meals.
