Interview with Novelist J.M. Bush (Storm in Shanghai)

J.M. Bush is the author of the urban fantasy novel, Storm in Shanghai. He began writing fiction in high school, but based on the negative reaction and mocking comments from an adult to one of his stories, J.M. lost confidence in his ability to write. He did not begin crafting new worlds again until March of 2015 – almost twenty years after he quit believing in himself. J.M. began writing online articles about traveling for the magazine Thursday Review. After spending four years living and working in Shanghai, China from 2011-2015, J.M. moved to Penang, Malaysia with his wife and two sons, where they currently reside. He still writes articles for the magazine, while also continuing to write science fiction and fantasy stories.
