J.
Conrad Guest’s first novel, January’s Paradigm, was published by Minerva Press, London, England. Current Entertainment Monthly in Ann Arbor, Michigan, wrote of January’s
Paradigm, “(readers) will not be able to put it down.” He has two more novels based on the Joe January character,
One Hot January and January’s Thaw, being considered for publication. In 2008, he completed Backstop:
A Baseball Love Story in Nine Innings and Chaotic Theory, a futuristic piece that explores the conjecture of how
the flap of a butterfly’s wings in South America might result in a tornado in Texas. He recently commenced work
on his next major project, a murder mystery that spans two centuries and centers on the life of baseball great, Ty Cobb.
His fiction and essays appear in various online and print publications, including Cezanne’s Carrot, Saucy Vox, River Walk Journal, 63 Channels, The Writers Post Journal, Redbridge Review, and Blood and Thunder: Musings on the Art of Medicine. J. Conrad’s short essay on
the writing life appears in the 2008 edition of Bylines Calendar — a 2006 finalist for the Walter Williams Award, given by the Missouri Writers’ Guild. He is also a contributing
writer to Impact Times, and his sports writing can be found at Bleacher Report.
