Johnny B. Truant

Hi! I'm Johnny. I've been a full-time fiction author since 2012, and to date I've written almost 150 books. 

Despite how much I've written (and how pompous this is about to sound), I consider myself an "artisan author": a creator dedicated to quality over quantity and establishing meaningful connections with my best fans. My work prioritizes craftsmanship, individuality, and the creation of beautiful books.

I’m the author of Fat Vampire, adapted by SyFy as "Reginald the Vampire" and starring Spider-Man's Jacob Batalon. My other books include Pretty Killer, Pattern Black, Invasion, The Beam, Dead City, and over 100 other titles across many genres. All can be found on my website and store at JohnnyBTruant.com.

I love playing my guitar, rock climbing, and watching Bob Schneider concerts. Originally from Ohio, I now live with my family in Austin, Texas, where I’m finally surrounded by creative types as weird as I am.
