J.D. MAY is a third-generation Texan, and true to her roots, her debut thriller FACTOR-7 introduces readers to Texas traditions, colloquialisms, and locales. J.D. lives with her husband in a country community in far South Texas, almost on the Mexican border. The little town boasts a population of only 350 quiet souls. She loves to cook, sip wine, travel, read, go to the theater, watch old movies, and listen to classic rock and roll, among hundreds of other pleasures. She has traveled extensively and has lived summers in British Columbia, Canada and San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, partially to escape the Texas unrelenting heat. She loves Italy and Greece and, in fact, draws upon experiences and people she knows in all these places she has lived, traveled, and loved in FACTOR-7. She is a painter and is active with her fellow artists at the co-op gallery in Port Isabel, Texas. Family, dear friends, and her faith are and always will be first, but second is her passion for writing, art, and animal activism.
