About the Author

J.C. Wade is her hometown’s resident weirdo. She gets excited about archeological finds, loves folklore, and would spend all her time holed away reading books and petting cats if her family didn’t need her. She currently resides in Northern Virginia with her husband, three sons, and (only) two cats. She wishes she had more feline friends, but her husband might divorce her if she dared.

 

Married to a military man, she has had the great opportunity to move often and fall in love with people of all walks of life. Her works merge multiple genres, featuring elements of historical fiction, romance, fantasy, and adventure, all deemed “clean.” She has been a public educator—specifically a Teacher of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing—for most of her career but has dabbled in creative writing her entire life.

 

You are likely to find her out and about on book tours along the eastern coast of the U.S. Check out the events portion of the site to see if she'll be near you any time soon.
