JM is an author who loves thunderstorms, bookstores, and happy endings. She's never met a reading nook she didn’t like, and she prefers soul talk to small talk. When she's not writing, reading, or crafting, she spend quality time with her family. JM spends her days writing stories, consuming massive quantities of dark chocolate, and looking for portals to other worlds in the mountains of Pennsylvania.
