J.R. Mendoza, born in south Texas in 1988, describes his upbringing as growing up in a place that was rich in history and saturated with legend. Fascinated by local lore, and the moments that were shared before he came to know his home state, Mendoza credits much of his craft to the creative energy simply living and breathing in the air around us. Mendoza claims to have been inspired to write The Nobodies while researching the phenomenon known as lucid dreaming, and to have written much of it while actively dreaming.
