Jon Bidwell / Jon Lee Grafton, Writer

Jon Bidwell, aka science fiction author Jon Lee Grafton, is a native Kansan raised in Shawnee. Jon graduated from KU in 1994 with a BA in psychology, a degree that ultimately informed him that he did not want to be a psychologist. Jon chose photography instead, and has worked in both commercial and fine art photography since 1996. He moved to Tucson, AZ in 2013 to take a sabbatical and write a novel. This turned into a science fiction novel, which turned into three science fiction novels, that will now be part of the six-part series, The 18th Shadow. Jon moved back to Kansas City in 2016 to be closer to family, and currently lives in the Rosedale neighborhood with his girlfriend, Tiana, and their cat, Lebowski, “The Dude,” who does indeed abide.
