Author bio:
JJ is an avid skydiver, an editorial assistant at St. Martin's Press, and an aspiring writer. Just another Starving Young Publishing Professional in NYC.
JJ was born and raised in sunny southern California but has since transplanted herself to New York City, ostensibly to pursue a dual career as a Preppy Young Professional™ and a Starving Artist-Writer™. She cannot possibly tell you why she gave up gorgeous weather, serene beaches, and the smell of roses, canyons, and night-blooming jasmine for soul-sucking winters, unforgiving concrete, and all-night Ukranian diners in the East Village, but she blames it all on Sesame Street.
She is a voracious and indiscriminate reader, an avid traveller, something of an adrenaline junkie, and always on the lookout for the next big break. She also enjoys wearing top hats, watching Audrey Hepburn films, studying the history of aviation, and cuddling with stuffed baby harp seals.
