My fiction work is written under the Pen name J.W. Kindbloom
The Echo and the Voice is a modern allegory about what gets lost when we trade creative truth for cultural belonging—and what it takes to reclaim it. Jonas Wilder, a gifted observer and reluctant rebel, moves through a world that rewards silence, performance, and forgetting. But something inside him refuses to be erased.
This is a story for the quietly defiant—for anyone who’s ever felt out of step and dared to wonder if that misstep was actually a signpost. At its heart, it’s not just Jonas’s story—it’s yours. The Echo and the Voice doesn’t demand answers. It offers a frequency, a question, and the space to finally listen.
