Thank you for visiting my site, my name is J.G. Blodgett, founder of Gate Key Publishing. I guess you're here because you might just be interested in me as an author. Well, if that is the case, then you probably already know that I write middle-grade fantasy and children's books, so let's see what you don't know about me.

​

When I'm not writing, I am usually spending time with my amazing wife and two beautiful children. Our house is full of animals: two dogs, a cat, and two adorable little cavies (guinea pigs) - it's a regular small farm we have going. Guinea pigs are easily my most favorite animals ever! Which is kind of funny, as I was reluctant to get a guinea pig when my wife, Paula, first presented me with the idea, which was supposed to be a present for my son, but I quickly fell in love with the little whistle pigs - it's kind of hard not to fall in love with them when they whistle like they do! Well, enough about cavies, maybe just a tad bit about what I'm up to as an author.

​

I currently have a middle-grade fantasy novel out called The Dark Light which is just Book 1 in an ongoing series called the Gate Key Chronicles. I absolutely love to write in the fantasy realm, and hope you enjoy reading the genre - as I plan to stay in there for a long time.

 

More than writing for entertainment, as a Christian writer, my hope is that my writings will also get the reader to look deeper within themselves, as well as take a closer look at the world around them, and possibly help one to ponder those impossible, life-altering questions. When I used to write for film, I actually had a production company called If Only One Productions, the title implying that: if my films could help to change just one person's life for the better, and maybe even help lead that person into either a new, or deeper, personal relationship with God, then I will have been a success as a filmmaker, and in what I believe to be my calling as an artist. My hope remains the same with my novels and children's books.
