About this author

My real name is Juan H. Alvarado and I was born in El Salvador, C.A. I currently live in Belize and my passions are writing, reading and spending time with the ones I love. I began writing in 2009. After posting some of my work on an internet website and receiving positive feedback, I went on to write several full-length novels under my penname, John Henry Ames. My first completed series is the Surviving Elite High Trilogy which chronicles the life of a gay sixteen-year-old boy as he makes his way through life as an outcast in the shadows of an elite high school where he is tormented by two psychopathic bullies.

Surviving Elite High by John H. Ames
" This was an enjoyable read. I am on a YA quick lately. The angst was pretty good. I enjoyed that there was not insta-love in here which is the main book killer for me. Their relationship developed over time. The pacing was great.
