J.D. Mitchell's stories are informed by his historical studies and transient upbringing. The latter, while terribly angst-inducing, exposed him to a rich tapestry of people and places, as did his varied service industry jobs and a sixteen-year stint in the Public Service of Canada (but who's counting?). He has been published in Radon Journal, and his self-published works include Springtide Harvest, a dark fantasy, and The Citadel of Bureaucracy, a satirical gamebook about surviving a very bad day in the civil service.
