J.M. Hackman loves thunderstorms, bookstores, and happy endings. She’s never met a reading nook she didn’t like and prefers soul talk to small talk. When she’s not writing, she spends time with her biggest fans—her family. Her short stories have been published in the anthologies Mythical Doorways, Tales of Ever After, and Encircled. Her YA fantasy series The Firebrand Chronicles (Spark, Flare, & Burn) is published by L2L2 Publishing. She spends her days writing stories, consuming massive quantities of dark chocolate, and looking for portals to other worlds.
