Summary

J Leonard Costner was born in New Jersey and grew up in Europe and the United States. His father was a professional basketball player and he played in the United States and Europe as he grew up. His dad was the most influential person in his life growing up. J Leonard attended and played for St. Peter’s University and experienced a number of injuries that tested his resolve. He successfully tried out for the NBA developmental league known as the D league back then now known as the G league today. His injuries required major surgery, a year of rehab and a year of no training type activity at all. As this was taking place, he had a dream every night for a month and it compelled him to put what he was dreaming on paper in the form of what became his first novel. He has now written a few books, two are published and the third book in the Legacy series is due to be released April 1st of 2024. He has written a couple of screen plays and he and his partners have a couple of short films based on the series in development. The future is very bright for J Leonard Costner indeed!
