Born in a small town, J.Armitage longed for adventure and travel. Age 20 she moved to Dublin, then to San Diego, Then Sydney and back to California where she did a brief stint working at Universal studios being a minder to Sponge Bob. Once back in Britain she got married, had babies and decided to write about the adventure she was now missing out on. She works full time, is a single mum to three kids and is currently pregnant with a surrogate baby. She has skydived twice (and survived), climbed Kilimanjaro and hiked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. She has also worked as a professional clown and banana picker amongst other jobs. Somehow she finds time to write. Her first novel, Endless Winter, is the first of the four part Guardians of The Light series and book 2 is currently underway.
