Tuesday James
I'm just your average mom of four. I spend most days hitting on my husband and concocting the next thirst trap in head. I've been an avid reader and writer for most of my life. Book's served as an escape from reality when I was younger and I find there's nothing like slipping into worlds we create with words. I'm fueled by 90's grunge, LOTR, tattoos, and Coke Zero. I have an emotional support chicken, her name is Frodo. I spent most of my childhood sneaking my grandmother's romance novels off her shelf. There was just something captivating about a shirtless Fabio embracing some damsel in destress while his long locks blew in the wind. I write characters who've dealt with the grittier side of life and still blossomed like a rose in concrete.

My love affair with books started at a very early age. I was already an avid reader at five and I remember reading everything I could put my little hands on. It did not change as I grew older and my love affair became my obsession.
I used to sneak my mom’s books that were in no way appropriated for my age and spent countless hours at the library and Barnes & Nobles. While most parents tell their kids to read, mine told me to stop reading because it was all I did.
I’ve been writing as long as I can remember but up to now, I have been a closet writer. Well, it is about time I left the closet.
I have degrees in Communications and Computer Science but left all that behind a few years ago to dedicate myself to m -
