J. Ember Hintz writes sci-fi and fantasy romance. She loves building dark contemporary worlds and lush alternate realities ripe with mythology and magic. You’ll meet ghosts, gods, and monsters in her stories, but never a damsel in distress. Her debut novel was a 2022 Book Life Prize by Publisher’s weekly Quarter Finalist and 2021 Daphne du Maurier Award for Excellence Finalist. Fun Facts: J. Ember is her real first initial and middle name. She goes absolutely feral for enemies to lovers, grumpy protector/body guard romance tropes, and whatever the opposite of a meet-cute is. A meet-disaster? She also believes the villain or antagonist is the most important character in every story. She lives near the ocean with her husband, two rescue poodles and the occasional ghost. Her alter ego enjoys a successful career in the wedding industry. Job perks include an unlimited supply of cake, champagne and IRL HEAs. When she’s not making dreams come true, or breathing life into fictional characters, you can find her in the studio throwing paint at a canvas and hoping for the best.
