The nerdy, brooding, luftmensch xerophilic anchorite called “Dunebat” (also known as J.C. Bat) is an amateur sketcher, scrivener, and scholar native to West Texas. With almost two decades of experience in graphic arts and broadcast television production, Dunebat is well-versed in the media/entertainment business. He also possesses some meager experience in the private security and information technology industries.
J.C. Bat gains inspiration for his works from his family, friends, and the people he encounters. He often enjoys watching other classic nerdy shows such as Star Trek, The X-Files, and Babylon 5. His writing influences include Michael Crichton, Chris Carter, J. Michael Straczynski, J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Ray Bradbury, Bram Stoker, Dan Aykroyd, George Lucas, Gene Roddenberry, Ron Moore, Ira Stephen Behr, Frank Miller, James O’Barr, Todd McFarlane, Chris Claremont, Tim Burton, Mark Protosevich and Terry Pratchett.
Though his writing has been inspired by Ghostbusters, The X-Files, and The Lord of the Rings, he was first motivated to write by Revelation 1:19 (KJV):
“Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter”.
