Born and raised in the West End (Parkland neighborhood) of Louisville, KY, TJ is the last of ten children and was often drawn to reading to take her on trips and adventures. Reading and writing provided an outlet to learn and to also be as creative as she wanted when deciding to create stories. Even though her educational focus developed into mainly STEM areas, her love for reading and writing never dissipated. TJ still currently works in a STEM-related field while producing novels and novellas.
TJ attended Kentucky State University and is a proud Thorobred. Her wide range of life experiences as well as her three beautiful, intelligent, amazing children have given her a plethora of topics and points of view to write from.
