Jay Wilburn lives with his wife and two sons in beautiful Conway, South Carolina. He is a full-time writer of horror and speculative fiction. Jay left his job as a teacher to become a full time writer and has never looked back. Well, that’s not entirely true. He wants to be sure he isn’t being followed, so he looks back sometimes. He does everything he can to burn bridges behind him to keep from running back to safe places. Probably not the best plan, but he’s making it work.
Jay Wilburn received a life-saving living donor kidney transplant in February 2017 and is working through all the medical particulars of this new life. He credits his donor, family, friends, and generous strangers for his survival and new life.
Jay Wilburn is currently working on a twelve book series: The Dead Song Legend Dodecology. Wilburn’s work appears in a wide range of publications and genre including his novels Vampire Christ, The Lake Scatter Wood Tales for younger readers, The Great Interruption, and Time Eaters. His coauthored novel The Enemy Held Near and Yard Full of Bones with Armand Rosamilia is drawing a lot of attention and the nonfiction work How to Make No Friends Everywhere with Brent Brock. Read a sample of The Enemy Held Near here. He has stories in a range of anthologies and his short story collection Beautiful Darkness including a Splatterpunk Award nominated story.
