Southern girl by birth. Writer by chance. Dreamer by nature.
For anyone interested in participating in my book coach practicums, I've hit an indefinite pause on the program. If, in the future, I unpause, I'll post an update here or in my stories. In the meantime, I am available for feedback and beta reading. Just email me.
I post exclusively to Valent Chamber. Any posting of my stories to other sites is unauthorized and an infringement of my copyrights. I know no one here would EVER do something so scuzzy. But if, by chance, the impossible happens, please alert me to it at joellejax@ymail.com. Thanks, J. Jax
