MJ Bell's love of reading and everything magical is what motived her to jump head first into a writing career. Her first novel was honored with a Gold medal in the Mom's Choice Awards' Fantasy category in 2009 and with the Indie Book of the Day Award in 2014. From there she has gone on to write the first two books of a new fantasy trilogy, Chronicles of the Secret Prince, and is currently working on the final chapter of Deston's adventure. MJ grew up in Iowa, but now considers Colorado her home and lives there with her husband, Tim. Her growing family has always been her pride and joy and provides her with a great source of inspiration to write and bring a little more magic into the world.
