WRITER BIO: "John Wells III is an award-winning author of The Last Angel Warrior, The Heir of Ambrose, and The Invisible City. Growing up in San Diego, California, John discovered a passion for storytelling, drawn to the vibrant worlds of fantasy and superheroes. As a queer African American writer, he often found himself searching for characters that reflected his own experiences. This inspired him to craft stories that resonate with readers of all backgrounds, creating complex and authentic characters who break the mold of traditional narratives. With a background in live theatre, public speaking, and education, John’s writing is infused with a sense of performance and urgency, inviting readers to explore themes of identity, belonging, and resilience. He believes in the power of diverse storytelling to reshape perspectives and offer a sense of home to those who feel like outsiders. When not writing, he can be found connecting with audiences through school assemblies, conventions, and maybe sneaking in a sweet treat or two."
