Author
Jonathan Byrd

Jonathan Byrd is a husband, father of three daughters, and an eternal optimist, some might even say a Micawber. He is a fifth generation resident of Biloxi who never imagined living anywhere else. However, after leaving, has never imagined returning. The more of the world he sees, the more he wants to experience. He hails from the hidden jewel of Alabama, Fairhope, but currently resides in Stuttgart, Germany. 

He is one of the founding members of Transcendent Authors, and his short work appears in all their anthologies. His first novel, Seafood Capital of the World, takes place during Prohibition and was shortlisted in the 2021 Faulkner-Wisdom Creative Writing Competition, yet remains unpublished. He also has a completed military thriller for the common soldier. His latest novel, Just One More, tells of a joint US/German defense of a castle against the Waffen SS after the suicide before the surrender in the last battle of the European Theater of World War II. 

When he isn’t writing, he’s thinking about writing even if it looks like he’s doing something else—like work. He has an answer for everything, opinion on anything, and is quiet about nothing.
