Jaylynn Wylie is a pen-name the first name is a family nickname. The Wylie was my mother's maiden name. I grew up in southern California but have traveled all over the United States. I've worked as everything from a fry cook to Correctional sergeant. I was volunteer EMT for over two decades working with the public and mine rescue. I love to ride motorcycles. Brace for it, I don't own a Harley. Gasp I ride a Triumph. I have a couple of rowdy hounds and live in a rural Arizona mining town. I love to read it's like popcorn for the mind. My mom's best friend started the addiction with paper bag full of paperback romance novels when I was thirteen. Don't be shocked in those days the couple barely even kissed and then woke up the next day. I have soft spot for Stephen King and Dean Knootz as well.
