J.R. Goodrich is a man with a passion for two things: writing, and the great outdoors. When not busily tapping away on his keyboard, he can be found skiing and hiking in the wilds of his home state, Alaska. He takes inspiration from the striking balance of beauty and danger which can be found while exploring that great landscape. He lives in Homer with an overfed Corgi named Sitka. The Jungle Never Sleeps is his first novel.
