J.L. Baldwin fell in love with writing when she wrote her first short story in the sixth grade. After that, she never saw herself doing anything else. Except maybe become an astronaut, but that required way too much math! While she loves writing all sub-genres of romance, her favorites tend to be small-town romances, steamy contemporary romances, dark romance, and romantic suspense with anti-heroes you can't help but hate to love. She also has been known to write some paranormal romance and sci-fi stories in her time. She resides in the mountains of Virginia where she spends her days writing, reading, and dreaming of walking around the Disney theme parks or laying on a sunny beach in Florida where she will someday call home.
