J. S. PIERCE
The Ledger of Light & Thought
To write is to listen first. In Through the Dragon’s Eye, Juanita Walraven builds a High Fantasy Novel and Space Fantasy Novel where starships orbit above elven tree homes, where Alien Diplomacy carries the same weight as a surgeon’s oath, and where dragons are not metaphors. They are survivors. This Dragon Fantasy Book and Epic Fantasy Novel was written at her kitchen table, between family meals and quiet cups of tea. She writes for those who still look at the night sky and hope to see wings against the stars.
She has written stories since primary school. With a high school education, she cites Zelazny, Kornbluth, and McCaffrey as influences and calls her style Empathic, Compassionate, Kind. Family always comes first. When not writing, she enjoys a movie or traveling to new places. Most people do not know she dislikes asking for help. Through the Dragon’s Eye is part of an ongoing Fantasy Saga from Juanita Walraven writing as J.S.Pierce.

Published the Science Fantasy Book that started it all. The book introduced Trina of the Practitioner Conclave and the first signal that broke a silence older than nations in this First contact fantasy novel.
Masterpiece
Through the Dragon's Eye
The highly anticipated release of her magnum opus solidified her legacy as an architect of the Fantasy and science fiction crossover novel. Praised for World Building that makes deck plates feel real and elven sanctuaries smell of laundry soap.
