John Reinier writes the Tales From The Apocalypse series, post-apocalyptic fiction where each book shifts genres as it moves between characters, from Psychological Horror to Epic Adventure and beyond. The throughline never changes: ordinary people surviving the end of the world and the harder business of what comes after.
He was always the kid asking “what if,” dropping people into situations they’d never considered just to hear how they’d answer. He never grew out of it. His writing is the grown up version of that game. Put good people under impossible pressure and watch who they turn out to be. Because you never really know who you are until you’re tested.
These days the testing ground is a quiet corner of rural Washington state, close to his grown sons, with Bruno keeping watch over the whole operation.

Say hi to Bruno. He frequently checks in on the progress of John’s work, and if you ask him, he never takes John off task.
He’s a great supervisor, with a big heart, but without an HR department, his management style involves a lot of daily kisses.
If you meet Bruno, you might want to wear pants because he loves to leg lick.
