J.L. Bearden
A director, author, actor, and passionate community builder, J.L. Bearden brings a grounded creative energy rooted in theatre and a deep commitment to mental health. With a philosophy shaped by Zen Daoism and a belief in merit, his work pulses with intentionality, heart, and unflinching honesty.
Bearden’s debut novel, Of Sand, Sound, and Fury: Et-Vithan Volume 1, is a sweeping epic set in the desert nation of Kesshadda. What begins as a writer’s journey to document a distant land quickly twists into a survival tale woven with conspiracies, elemental spirits, and a looming threat that could reshape the world itself.
If you're drawn to immersive fantasy where every detail matters and where the heart of the story beats with both fire and resilience, you won’t want to miss this author or his work.
