J. Lynn Bailey
J. Lynn Bailey loves office supplies and Brussels Sprouts. She is quite boring, but loves coffee. A lot, actually. She would be totally fine if she had to live in yoga pants every single day of her life. Two must haves for her are a warm cozy towel after she takes a hot shower and clean sheets on Sundays. Her very favorite color is pink.

A little town she lives near, Ferndale, California, is a place that she has always felt there was something magical about. The plot for “Black Five” surged through her head for years, however, she never realized she had the necessary time to write the story. She drove past the town every morning while on her way to work or school. Every time, the voice in her head about the story would get a little louder. She realized she couldn’t make excuses any more about it.

Her reasons for not writing the story were more insecurities about her own writing, and if people would like it or even read it. She knew that she had to stop living in such fear, especially since she told her kids they were able to do whatever they put their minds to. She obviously had to put her own words to good use.

Bailey finds music inspires her. All different kinds. Watching people is inspirational, too. If she had the time, she would sit and watch people for hours. Even though she would sit by herself, she would feel like she conversed with eight people, fallen in love for times, and told two of the people to go right to hell.

She writes the “Granite Harbor” series and some stand alone novels. Her work is from the contemporary, young adult, and romance genres. Her debut novel, called “Black Five”, was released in the year 2016.
