M.A. Jewell started adulting as an operating room nurse. An avid reader for many years, she traded in her reading addiction for a pen to write in her favorite genre, romance. Now, she can’t stop.

Recently transplanted to Dallas, Texas, she enjoys her own happily ever after with her biggest fan and supporter, her husband, Jim. Their two sons have fledged and married lovely, competent women. And if you have an extra twenty minutes, go ahead and ask about her three perfect grandchildren.
