CJ was raised in Indianapolis, Indiana, and Festus Missouri.  She always read books and in their world.  Growing up she had a fierce love for dogs and always knew she would have a litter of her own.  At the early age of 19, she joined the United States Air Force and spent 20 years, traveling the world, serving her country, and meeting the most amazing people.  After retirement, she decided to put her dreams to work by spending more time with family and taking the leap to author her books.  None of this would be possible without the love and support of her amazing husband and children who have supported every crazy idea she has come up with from the military to books, to having six dogs in the house at one time.  You can visit her on Facebook and check out what is the craziest thing she has on her mind.
