Once upon a time, CJ was an electrical engineer who had dreams of being an author. Today he still uses his left brain to make a living as a systems analyst but spends nights and weekends exercising his right brain with writing. He enjoys cultivating happily-ever-afters in his imagination and bringing them to life with the keyboard.

“I don’t enjoy torturing the characters I love, but I know they’ll be stronger for it, and the story is so much better for their struggle. I’m sure they’ll forgive me. Well, I hope they will.”

CJ lives in Los Angeles, California with his husband and their two furry children. Cats, not hairy humans.
