Jon Broeke (Born in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa in 1981) started his writing career at the tender age of 18 when he enrolled in the Writer's Write course to learn how to become a fiction novelist. Through some trials and tribulations his first novel, Ripter, a teen horror, was published in 2009 through various self publishing platforms, eventually ending up on Amazon.com. Now with two more books, and growing, Jon looks to be an exciting new voice in literature, albeit, commercial. Jon also works as an entertainment journalist, talking to and writing about the stars of the big screen as well as stage and other books, when he's not working on screen plays.
