Java Davis spent fifteen years in the printing and marketing fields. After retiring early due to a disability, she turned to writing books as a way to work at home. A perpetual wanderer earlier in life, she draws heavily on a lifetime of diverse locales, unusual experiences and varied friendships. Awards: "Three of my books, On Becoming a Dinosaur, Triptych, and Metal, have all won 5-star medallions from the Readers' Favorite website. The New Apple Literary site awarded a Top Honors medallion to my book, Commune, in the Humor category. Cowgirl is a CIPA EVVY Bronze winner, Fiction-Westerns category. I know what they mean when they say: 'I'm proud, but I'm humble, too.'" Like road trips? So does Java Davis.
