J.D. CORTESE

THIS JOURNEY

​

I have lived in many places and unexpectedly traveled the world. I also toured the knowledge universe, from the sciences to philosophy and from art to religion, climbing a few intellectual mountains. The world looks quite different to me now than it was when I was a child in a blue-collar neighborhood in Buenos Aires.

​​​

From these experiences comes the writing you can find here. In the past, I liked the noise of busy cities—with their big crowds and bookstores—but now I find ideas looking forward to our future and the stars. Many of the themes I write about were born in those spaces, in the vast silence between worlds.

​​​

The publication of my debut novel, The Sound of a Broken Chain, started a new journey. You can find information about my early books here, in the pages Broken Chains Series, Watchtowers, and The Fences of the Light.

MY UPCOMING NOVEL, The Pillars of Time, a story set in the same world as The Sound of a Broken Chain and Fences of the Light, WILL BE PUBLISHED IN 2025.
