Tales from the P.I.T. Crew • Book 2
After serving his country in the Marine Corps, J.M. Tilbury traded the battlefield for the written word, bringing the same intensity and dedication to crafting spine-chilling paranormal thrillers that blur the line between urban legend and reality.
Based in San Jose, California, J.M. lives with his fiancé and three children, finding inspiration in the everyday moments between writing sessions. His military background brings authenticity to his characters' struggles and resilience, while his love for the supernatural creates the perfect storm for his dark, gripping narratives.
You'll find J.M. exploring the great outdoors with his German Shepherd, experimenting in the kitchen, strumming his guitar, or diving into the latest video game. These diverse interests fuel his creativity and bring depth to his storytelling, creating characters that feel authentically human even when facing the supernatural.
