Guest Host Spotlight


J. Andersen likes to write books, but doing so means slaying the dragons of procrastination while trudging through piles of laundry to make it to the computer. This small town, stay at home mom and former English teacher may be a world builder by day and a superhero by night, but that doesn't mean she can ignore making dinner or driving the kids to music lessons. She also works as the Director of Author Services for Brimstone Fiction and is the Author Care Manager for Burnett Young Books. You can find her work at http://www.jandersenbooks.com/
