I write punchy little stories, in the vein of the pulp writers of yore. Suspense, mystery, and perha

Rey always smiles after finishing a good book. Share to promote doggo literacy and like my page for updates on my latest book...and more dogs.

Sorry Henry...not zombies. Emma does have a lot to contend with despite that though. And, you are still my favorite TV action hero.

She said this one wasn't really her thing, and she can't wait for my book about a 19 year old former cheerleader, whose world ceases to be, to come out. Show Ninka that you encourage dog reading by sharing and liking my page for updates.

Here is the cover that is most likely the winner for the first in the Emma series, which will be available for pre-order soon.

Available for free starting tomorrow, January 5th and ending on January 9th. It is only $.99 today, or free if you have Kindle Unlimited.

Through the Fog: A Collection of Speculation “He was quiet, never bothered anyone.” That is uniformly the response given to reporters interviewing the neighbor of someone who has done something heinous. That is what makes life scary, builds suspense: an ordinary life, suddenly divergent from the norm. In John Grunden’s ...

This is the design I picked for the quick anthology coming out. What are your thoughts?

Happy New Year everyone! I know it's late in the day, but I've been working on Emma's second chapter. While taking a break from that a new story presented itself that needed to be started. Look to my Patreon for a post tomorrow.

I just wanted to say that Alex Gibson kicked my butt today in my first iLoveKickboxing class today. My hands are actually shaking trying to play guitar, so maybe I will stop procrastinating and write a couple more chapters.

Here is the prospective cover design for The Golden Band. I went simple because it let's me focus efforts (and resources) where they need to be. Thoughts or comments?

John Grunden – Good News-Bad News 01/12/2017

I want to share some news. It is a little long for here, so I offer a link to my website. http://www.johngrunden.com/good-news-bad-news/

John Grunden – Good News-Bad News I will try to keep this post fairly short, so I will cut to the chase. The Golden Band will not be coming out Christmas 2017. There, I said it. There are a few factors that weighed in. First of all, December is the worst time in the cycle to publish, so it would be bad business. Secondly, my beta re...

I just added a preview of the unedited first chapter of the cozy, The Golden Band - Tippecanoe Lake Series #1, to the website.

John Grunden – The Golden Band Preview The well-built blonde man was dressed casually. He was neat in the dark colored jeans, playing off his white dress shirt and sport jacket. A good look for this young man. The jacket was not just for show. The temperature had started to indicate that it was indeed fall in Indiana. The mist from the e...

John Grunden – Time Keeps on Slipping As I was leaving work this morning, I noticed all the fun runners getting ready for the 5K that I had wanted to run. I wasn’t too upset, as I have other more meaningful events in which I plan to run coming up in the not too distant future. It took me a few minutes, but I did finally realize the date...
