Meet Justin.Justin C. Cliburn is an author and attorney with a lifelong affinity for mystery. Raised in Southwest Oklahoma, he joined the Army National Guard while still in high school. His stories of love and loss in Iraq have been published by Warrior Writers and The Good Men Project Magazine and featured by NPR, PBS, and StoryCorps, culminating in an interview by Stephen Colbert. He holds a B.A. from Cameron University—widely considered the Harvard of Lawton, Okla.—and a J.D. from the University of Oklahoma.
Justin has experienced life's highest highs and lowest lows, and his writing combines a journalism and legal background with compassion, curiosity, and hard-earned humility. He lives with his wife and dogs in Oklahoma City, where he drinks IPAs, reads narrative nonfiction, and dominates his brothers-in-arms in the fantasy football league they started in Iraq. He prefers his beers local and his mysteries unsolved. His narrative nonfiction debut, What Good Would Come, is tentatively scheduled for release in time for the 100th anniversary of the tragic Babbs Switch fire in 2024. |
