THE LINE, an urban fantasy set in Savannah, Georgia, is the first book of the Witching Savannah series. In his debut as an author, J.D Horn powerfully portrays the Hoodoo underbelly of this genteel and charming small city.

Recalling the otherwordly drama of Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse, THE LINE is centered on Mercy Taylor, young scion to the most powerful witch family of the south, who has grown up in the shadow of her talented and charismatic twin sister, because unfortunately, she was born without the gift of magic. Mercy has always thought herself content. But when a series of mishaps -- culminating in the death of the Taylor matriarch -- leaves a vacuum in the mystical underpinnings of Savannah, she finds herself thrust into a mystery that could shake her family apart, and unleash a darkness the line of Taylor witches has been keeping at bay for generations.

In advance of its release on February 1, the book had already become a best seller on Amazon, reaching #1 in Occult Horror books, Contemporary Science Fiction & Fantasy, Occult Horror Kindle ebooks, and Paranormal & Urban Fantasy Kindle ebooks.

J. D. Horn was raised in rural Tennessee, and has since carried a bit of its red clay in him while traveling the world, from Hollywood, to Paris, to Tokyo. He studied comparative literature as an undergrad, focusing on French and Russian in particular. He also holds an MBA in international business and worked as a financial analyst before becoming a novelist. When not writing he is likely running, and he has race bibs from two full marathons and about thirty half marathons.
