John Eric (“J. E.”) Schleicher is an award-winning author who writes stories that leave behind a fantastical aftertaste long after reading. His short fiction has appeared in various publications such as L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future Volume 40, Creepy Podcast, and The Colored Lens Speculative Fiction Magazine.

His short story, “Squiddy,” was a winner of the Writers of the Future contest and is currently being novelized. When not reading or writing, he enjoys wandering wonderstruck (on two legs or knobby wheels) the mountains near his home in Missoula, Montana.

Can’t get enough of J.E.? You’re coming on a bit strong. But okay. He came ready. Discover his delights on his blog Dopamine’s Delight (subscribe below) or connect with him on Threads & Instagram @JESchleicher.
