Jordan Summers

I’m a passionate storyteller and fantasy author currently based in Tullahoma, Tennessee. My debut novel, Blood of the Annunaki, blends myth, monsters, and personal legacy into an epic journey of identity and purpose. I draw inspiration from ancient legends, modern-day struggles, and my own life experiences—including five years of service in the U.S. Army as a 92W Water Treatment Specialist. That time shaped both my discipline and my appreciation for the quiet resilience found in everyday people.

Today, I work as a Water Treatment Plant Operator and study Cybersecurity at Southern New Hampshire University. My stories are rooted in emotional depth and rich lore, often challenging divine systems with very human characters. When I’m not writing,
