Jax's stories are all about light-hearted conversations and deeply-felt connections. She loves exploring exactly why two characters are the only ones who’ll make the other truly happy, and the journey they take to reach their happily-ever-after.

Jax lives in New Zealand and is a rabid sports fan, a hiking enthusiast and has a slightly unhealthy addiction to nature documentaries. As an extrovert who spends way too much time in her own head, she loves to connect with readers. To read her exclusive novella Being Set Up, sign up to her newsletter: https://jaxcalder.com/newsletter-sign.... You can also join her Facebook group Jax's Crew (www.facebook.com/groups/jaxcaldercrew) for bonus stories plus exclusive excerpts from her upcoming books. ...more

Jax Calder answered Stacy's question: Is there any chance that Moderating Love and It Started With A Text will be audiobooks? I would absolutely LOOOOOOVE to hear Nick and Anthony read by some stellar narrators. Just wondering :) Yes! I'm planning to produce audio books for my Queer Ways to Fall in love. If you have any suggestions for narrators, please let me know :)
