BJ Cunningham was born in raised in the small village of Blue Hill, Maine. From a very young age, she wrote stories of fiction. When asked why she liked to write, she a caused great deal of alarm when she explained that she could hear the characters in her head and that the only way to silence them was to write their stories. After many "meetings" and tests, it was determined that the voices were simply her over active imagination and odd sense of humor. Not mental illness. Her crazy quilt of a resume includes zookeeper, production artist, optician, outreach education coordinator for a large biotechnology laboratory and she has a B.S in the administration of justice. Raising a teenage son as a single parent paired with the talent of being a magnet for the strange and amusing, has fueled her quirky sense of humor that shows in her work. Currently BJ is working on a paranormal series, The Bjorn Clan. The first, entitled Blood Ties, is scheduled for release in early 2015.
