Justin B. Dunn Sr. is an independent author and founder of New Direction Press, based in Dayton, Ohio. He writes psychologically driven fiction centered on control, escalation, and the long-term consequences of human behavior within close relationships. His work is defined by structured tension, grounded realism, and a refusal to rely on exaggerated storytelling. Instead, Dunn constructs narratives through progression, repetition, and decision-making, allowing ordinary situations to evolve into high-stakes psychological conflict. Across multiple series, his writing explores how environments shape behavior, how patterns form under pressure, and how influence extends beyond intention. His goal is not only to tell compelling stories, but to expose the systems of behavior that operate beneath them.
