What the duece is a J. A. Flores?!
	J.A. Flores was born in Houston, Texas in January 1977, making him an Aquarius/sylph and a dragon/snake hybrid. Although it is rumored that he was left on parents’ doorstep by trolls, this has not been confirmed (although it would explain an awful lot). At the age of 5 he moved with his family to the Houston suburb of Pearland (a much, much different place than it is today). He attended school in Pearland, (barely) graduating in 1995.  College didn’t work out so well for him, so he went to study Nuclear Mechanics in the US Navy. After that, he went back to work with the Parks & Recreation Department for the City of Pearland. He is still current employed by the City of Pearland at the Knapp Senior Center where he plans programs & activities for active adults 50 & over. His official job title is Senior Center Specialist, and what, pray tell, does Specialist mean? He has no earthly idea, but he doesn’t want to ask lest someone actually notice him and realize how grossly overpaid he actually is (to anyone from the City that may be reading this, he is just joking! He does know what a Specialist is and he is grossly underpaid! *heh-heh?*). J.A. Flores has been writing for as long as he has been able to correctly pick up a pencil, and he has been creating stories for even longer than that. One of the earliest stories he had written was a fantasy tale not too dissimilar from the Quest saga entitled “The Quest of Sir James” (and if you don’t know what the J. in J.A. Flores means by now, shame on you!). Written at about the age of 7 or 8, this tale would eventually evolve into the Quest Saga (for more info about how the Quest Saga came to be, click here to be teleported to the History of the Quest Saga page). Later attempts of novel writing include a private dick/crime drama entitled “Jim Reaper P.I.”, Jim Reaper was the lead character, Holly Leef was his love interest, and Thomas Gunn was his arch-nemesis; yeah, it was about as good as it sounds. Flores spent most of his High School career writing various stories and plays (one such play was the A+ final exam project Essence of the Wolf), which goes a long way into explain why he barely graduated. Already having rewritten several short stories as well as the books of the Quest Saga, Flores has many other projects lined up as well as maintains his own website (it shows, doesn’t it?). Needless to say, his imagination keeps him pretty busy. When not writing, J. A. Flores enjoys spending time outdoors and near the ocean, and reading (although truthfully, most reading done these days is usually research for his writing). His favorite novels include Watership Down by Richard Adams, Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris, and Romance of the Three Kingdoms attributed to  Luo Guanzhong. He studies military & warfare history, weaponry, ancient history, mythology, the paranormal, anatomy & biology, and faery & elemental magick. He also enjoys TV Shows such as Mystery Science Theater 3000, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, The Shield, The Office, Tales from the Crypt, & Family Guy. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have much time for too much else.
					Why the deuce did I write all that in 3rd person? It friggin’ makes me sound like Dr. Doom. Bah!
