Amazon and International bestselling author J.A. Owenby grew up in a small backwoods town in Arkansas, where she learned how to swear like a sailor and spot water moccasins skimming across the lake.
She finally ditched the south and headed to Oregon. The first winter there, she was literally blown away a few times by ninety-mile-an-hour winds and storms that rolled in off the ocean.

Eventually, she longed for quiet and headed up to snowier pastures. She now resides in Washington state with her hot nerdy husband and cat, Chloe (who frequently encourages her to drink). She spends her days coming up with ways to torture characters in a way that either makes you want to throw your book down a flight of stairs or sob hysterically into a pillow.

Hi James,
We do follow each other's blogs. Mine is Jen's Thoughts at https://jenowenby.wordpress.com/. You comment occasionally. :) Thank you for your support!

My novel is based on my short story (on Amazon) Tears in the Sun. It falls in with New Adult, but also deals with the heavy issues of mental illness and abuse. The novel brings it out much more and introduces additional characters too.

I'm finding that I also enjoy writing both shorts and novels.

Thank you for reaching out and connecting more!(less)
