In 3rds is the work of R. Justin Shepherd — owner of Spencer’s Coffeehouse in Bowling Green, Ky., and an erstwhile writer/editor/ideaman. He likes his books and coffee thick, his pizza crusts thin, and his commentary laced with satire (not sarcasm). He has also written, recorded and performed music with the band Foxhole, courtesy of Philadelphia’s Burnt Toast Vinyl record label, and is currently working on an irony-laden television comedy, based loosely on his own life. (And since you asked: No, he doesn’t think he’s all that.)

Justin and his wife, Shelley Gwen Shepherd, have two sons, Lewis Christian and Owen Andrew. All are members of Grace & Peace Presbyterian, a PCA congregation located in downtown Bowling Green.
