About the Author

Donald Pitchforth Jr. is a storyteller at heart whose writing journey began over four decades ago when he first spun a tale for his children. Encouraged by his wife to write it down, he discovered that for him, writing is not just a passion but a necessity—an act a true writer must do.

His path to authorship was shaped by a life rich in experience: a veteran of the U.S. Navy, he traveled from Japan to the Philippines, where he and his wife started their family. Following his service, he built a career in telecommunications and technical writing, honing a discipline for clear communication.

Now, in retirement, Donald has returned to the creative call with renewed dedication. With a lifelong love for science fiction and fantasy, he channels his focus into crafting compelling narratives. From thoughtful poems to ambitious novels, his work reflects a steadfast commitment to the craft, proving it’s never too late to pursue the stories that demand to be told.
