About the Author
Born and raised in the rugged Black Hills of South Dakota, MJ Witt has embraced an extraordinary range of careers, including wilderness outfitter, horse trainer, SCUBA diving instructor, working in the casinos of historic Deadwood, and even a dolphin trainer for the US Navy.
A lifelong lover of books, MJ’s passion for storytelling naturally evolved into a new adventure: writing. Influenced by literary icons like Robert Heinlein and Louis L’Amour, he crafts stories that reflect his deep appreciation for compelling narratives and vivid realism. Growing up in rural America, where “prepping” was simply a way of life, MJ developed a profound connection to the wilderness through camping and exploring untamed landscapes. This upbringing made writing in the Post-Apocalyptic genre for his first books a seamless choice, as he strives to infuse his tales with authenticity and a sense of possibility.
Now that his first series, Vashon Island Fall, has been completed, MJ is excited and looking forward to bringing readers his next series which will be in the action-thriller genre. Buckle up and hang on, it’s going to be quite a ride!
Living with his wife and child in the Pacific Northwest, MJ balances his time between managing their farm—caring for horses and other animals—and traveling the world, always seeking new experiences and the next horizon to explore.
