About this author

J.D. Stroube is an author, artist, and a full time psychology major. Her writing crosses many genre's, but most often gears towards fantasy and the paranormal. She write young adult, as well as adult novels.

During periods of writers block, she tends to create graphic art for her business, Dreamscape Covers.

J.D is determined to provide breathtaking graphic art that is affordable.
When she's not creating cover art for fellow authors, she is writing or editing one of her numerous novels or delving into psychology books!

Earlier this week, I began having pains in my right hand. The pain still hasn't gone away, which has delayed my ability to format Caged by Damnation. As soon as the pain is gone, I plan to devote my time to formatting Caged by Damnation and uploading it to be available for purchase. I changed the expected publication date to March 1st, but in actuality it will likely be much sooner.

Intertwined (Poetry)
1 chapters   —   updated May 27, 2011 10:51pm
Description: I wrote this poem after my Grandfather died when I was about 15 years old. It is unaltered, which means it is fairly raw. When he was dying, I pulled away from him. It was too difficult to watch. After he passed away, I felt guilty that I wasn't there for him. This poem is about my failure to stay at his side, and about what I envisioned for his afterlife.

“Life is filled with unanswered questions, but it is the courage to seek those answers that continues to give meaning to life. You can spend your life wallowing in despair, wondering why you were the one who was led towards the road strewn with pain, or you can be grateful that you are strong enough to survive it.”
J.D. Stroube, Caged by Damnation

“A complete stranger has the capacity to alter the life of another irrevocably. This domino effect has the capacity to change the course of an entire world. That is what life is; a chain reaction of individuals colliding with others and influencing their lives without realizing it. A decision that seems miniscule to you, may be monumental to the fate of the world.”
J.D. Stroube, Caged by Damnation

“What you are or where you came from is not important. It is who you are and the choices you make, that determine who you will become. If you can look inward and be satisfied, the opinions of others should melt away.”
J.D. Stroube, Caged in Darkness

Thanks for the add! I look forward to comparing books and opinions. I love meeting other true L.J.

I have been writing most of my life, but I was never brave enough to let anyone read them. I finally decided that it was better to put myself out there. :) I have to admit that it feels amazing to see that people enjoy what I write. :) Thanks for accepting the friend request! :) BTW, I noticed you have Dark Lover on your to-read list. You should read it soon! I didn't fall in love with the series until book 2, but it is an amazing series!
