About Me

Who is MJ Blehart?

I’m a storyteller, dreamer, philosopher, geek, writer, editor, voice artist, amateur photographer, and medieval reenactor – among other things. I’ve been writing fiction since I was 9 years old. My first completed story was an illustrated, 50-page hand-written sci-fi adventure called Wildfire.

My primary fiction works are sci-fi, fantasy, and Steampunk. There are many cool worlds in my head, and I love writing them and working on sharing them with everyone.

Writing is my greatest love, my passion.  I’ve been writing most of my life, and words are how I best express myself.  Whether I am writing a novel, writing for my blog, posting an article on Medium, or working on some sort of business writing, I love the written word.

I have a number of projects in various stages of development constantly underway.

Writer / Editor / Voice Artist / World-Builder – it all adds up to Storyteller. That’s me in a nutshell.

I continue writing and self-publishing, seeking to build an ever-growing audience and new opportunities to share my work.

I’m originally from the suburbs of Minneapolis, Minnesota. I relocated to the East Coast for college and have lived in New York or New Jersey ever since.

Currently, I live in New Jersey, just east of Philadelphia, with my wife and two feline overlords (cats).

Medieval Reenactor

I am an active participant in the East Kingdom of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). In the SCA, I am known as Malcolm Bowman. I participate in and teach fencing, court heralding, archery, and other activities on many weekends throughout the year. I’ve been enjoying this for 30+ years.
