JB has been writing novels ever since her first one, Bucky the Bronco and his Missing Horse Shoe, won critical acclaim. At least in the McDonald family. It had illustrations. Hey, she was eight! From that day on she wanted to be a circus performer. Then a cowgirl. Then an artist, a bird trainer, a comic book artist, a vet, a horse trainer, a dog trainer, and finally she realized she could actually sell all the things she kept writing down, and decided to become a novelist.

Some day, she might decide which kinds of novels she wants to write, but in the meantime she's trying them all. One thing holds true: she loves characters--possibly because she comes from a family of them. It's human behavior and the dynamics of how people react and relate that really fascinate her, whether they're reacting to each other, to situations, or to their own thoughts.

Nowadays she lives with two dogs and a bird, and does dog training and dog scootering on the side. She's pretty sure that someday she'll find a place to settle down, but in the meantime she's enjoying moving around. If you're wondering what the heck dog scootering is, or would just like to see her other books and what she's up to now, you can find her webpage, or email her.
