about me

Justis Call was born somewhere along the California coastline, and has gravitated toward coastlines his entire adult life. He grew up in the wild, wild west, thinking he was a cowboy and was, indeed, a natural horseman. After his cowboy youth, Justis began his coast-jumping life in Buenos Aires, Argentina. After two years on the South American Atlantic coast, speaking very little English, he traveled to the distant land of the Pacific Northwest, living and working next to the gorgeous Pacific Ocean. Onward and forward, not one to remain tied to any one part of the world or ocean, Justis fairly skipped even further north to Alaska (where all fairies are from, you know) to experience the ocean as it is blown in by the fierce winds from Japan. Later, Justis was to spend several years on the northern east coast, gaining a new familiarity with the crashing Atlantic Ocean waves. He is now older and more settled somewhere near the west coast, living and loving the Pacific Ocean and all the magical creatures he encounters. His love of writing was nurtured after winning a 5th grade writing contest in which he wrote an essay about his non-traditional mother. From there, he slowly found his niche in the fantasy world, being able to believe and become, while still living in this world, working and writing a weekly newspaper column in a small island town off the coast of some distant place in the north.
