DJColwell grew up in Greenville, SC and has lived most of her adult life just outside of Atlanta, GA. When not writing she spends her time practicing karate - well not all the time - she does do other things, though they might not be quite as fun as karate. She also teaches 1st and 2nd grade Sunday School with her husband, home schools her two daughters, chauffeurs to soccer practice, and jogs with her beagle Wimsey. In other words, she does all the normal activities moms do.
