J. J. Hutto is the author of the Son of Flame series, originally released on Royal Road. He moved often as a kid and became a fixture at various local libraries as a result. There, he studied under fantasy's greatest authors and became obsessed with the hero's journey, which likely inspired his career as a firefighter/first responder. Hutto currently resides in Atlanta, Georgia, and is pursuing writing full-time . . . among a few other dubious professions.
