J. M. Prigmore was born in Austin and raised in the nearby city of Caldwell, where he was unwillingly exposed to every trope of smalltown Texas. He connects deeply with his old world heritages, immersing himself in the myths of his Scottish, Irish, and Germanic ancestors, from which he draws inspiration for his writing. His stories involve creating character-rich narratives and those character's personal struggles living in harsh fantasy worlds, crafted from real world historical and religious influences. He has been writing stories for his friends and family since he was in middle school. Crimson Legacy: The Red Mother is his first novel.
