CJ grew up in an Air Force family traveling all over the U.S. and around the world where she loved meeting real life heroines and heroes in uniform and flight suits. Her first romantic suspense series, The Paladin Group is set in a small southern town and features wounded Air Force veterans turned lawyers and investigators determined to continue their mission of rescuing people in danger. CJ’s contemporary romance quintet, features five sisters raised in the air force. When each returns to the country of her birth, she meets the man of her dreams but she also meets her fate. After spending her high school and university years living in California, CJ was inspired by her love of marine life and the Pacific Ocean to create a paranormal romance series, the Dolphin Shore Shifters. The stories feature dolphins capable of shifting into human form and defending their oceans no matter what it takes. A member of RWA, Romance Writers of America, and GRW, the Georgia Romance Writers, CJ lives and writes near a lake in the woods northeast of Atlanta. When she isn’t writing or reading romances, CJ likes to spend time with her two grown children, their spouses, a brilliant grandson, and a feisty cat named Max. Time permitting she also still loves to travel the US and the world. Max flatly refuses to travel.
