I am an author, artist, hobby musician and business owner living on the east coast of Australia. I've always enjoyed creative pursuits and now I'm ecstatic to be able to do it as a career with my business J.L. Whitton Creative. My aim is to spread joy to people through the things I make. I recently published my first fiction book The Pendulum (2023) a thriller with elements of crime, political and legal intrigue. Continuum of the Anomaly (2023) is the first volume of poetry I have put together, I also used one of my artworks "Pillars of Zvezda" for the front cover. I wanted to capture our strange modern syndrome through poetic verse and peer behind the darker veils of our existence, the parts we often overlook. My new poetry book Don't Censor the Hippos, an absurd and humorous collection (2025) is out now.
