J.S. Scheffel
My love for Sci-fi/Fantasy stories began in the 3rd grade when our teacher read us A Wrinkle In Time. It was cemented with Heinlein's Stranger In A Strange Land several years later.

My love for writing blossomed around the same time. Most of my work was confined to poems and short stories, and I was lucky enough to encounter teachers who encouraged me. But life has a way of getting in the way of your ambitions, and I put aside my pen and paper for many years. Covid and a bout with Breast Cancer helped me to prioritize things, and writing again was at the top of my list. -

At the age of 45, I “woke up” at the top of my game. On the outside, it all looked perfect. I was working as a marketing executive for a prestigious hotel company alongside best in class people. I was making great money, living in a beautiful home and was (and still am) married to an incredible guy.
