Something to Talk About

M. J. Fredrick

Most of M.J.'s earliest memories involve books and writing. You can ask her father about the backseat full of Trixie Belden books on a road trip to California, some of them in tatters from use. Or you can ask her grandmother about the weekly trips to the dime store to buy Harlequin Romances (usually ones with horses on the covers). Or ask her uncle about reading her first effort when she was nine years old, a mixture of Grease and One on One. M.J. has finalled in the Golden Heart four times. She is an active member of San Antonio Romance Authors and is also a member of The Golden Network. She is a member of the Wet Noodle Posse, and also has a blog, The Bandwagon. In the years she's been writing, she's written everything from epic contemporary to short and sexy, even trying her hand at futuristic and paranormal. M.J., a fourth grade teacher, has lived her whole life in San Antonio. She shares her computer (sometimes) with her patient husband of 20 years and her brilliant 16 year old son.
