CJ credits her passion for writing, to her second grade sweetheart,
Steven, a blond haired cutie with dimples, who dumped her for a girl
who could swing on the monkey bars. She wrote her first
story about love and loss after that tragic episode.
Encouraged by a mother who is also a writer, CJ kept on
writing, using her dreams and fantasies as guides.
A
life long reader of all genres of books, CJ lists some of her
favorites as Agatha Christie, Laura Ingalls Wilder , Lillian Jackson
Braun, Jayne Anne Krentz, Anne McCaffrey, Piers Anthony, Barbara
Cartland, James Herriot, Nora Roberts, Frank Peretti, Linda
Howard, Jayne Anne Krentz, and a dozen other authors that have
influenced her.
CJ was first published by
Country Magazine when she wrote a touching story about the
grandfather who helped raise her. She has also had work
published by Rodale Press and has written several children's
stories as well.
Trying to be a full time mom, and teacher put a crimp in the whole
writing thing for awhile, and most of the stories CJ had in her head
took the back burner to Algebra 1, Biology and Music. But it didn't
stop her completely. Many a night, she could be found
scratching out notes about a book that wouldn't get out of her head.
It wasn't until her kids were older that she felt she had the time
to do what needed to be done.
One cold winter night in Idaho
during a blizzard, when she couldn't sleep, she got on
the computer and started to write down one of the stories that she
had dreamed up at night.
That story turned into her
first full length novel,
The Peacekeeper Journals,
a eight book series about a group of supernaturals who join
together to save humanity from evil.
Since then she has written about gods and goddesses, royalty, elves,
shapeshifters, witches, mutants, vampires, and aliens, as well
as just regular folks.
Her
first accepted story was
The Mylari Chronicles: Eyes of Fire
which was later published by Samhain Publishing. It
became a bestseller and has been given great reviews by fans
and reviewers alike.
CJ
has been nominated for several top awards including CAPA, Ari, and
the Pearl. She has won Top Author awards from several review
sites and was given the distinction to be one of Ecataromance
Sensual's Top Five Authors.
Reviewers have had great things to say about CJ's work.
