AUTHOR BIO:

At the foot of Pikes Peak, in the shadow of its usually snow-covered shoulders visible from the bedroom window, J. M. Cornwell writes while looking out over the abandoned-appearing back yard on the other side of a weather beaten, snaggle-toothed fence. She transcribes dreams into words and calls them novels.

Ms. Cornwell is the author of fourteen books, contributing stories to several Chicken Soup, Cup of Comfort and various anthologies and writes book reviews for Authorlink. Ms. Cornwell's first novel, Past Imperfect, was published by L&L Dreamspell July 2009. Among Women is the latest novel, the first in a two-part series on New Orleans in 1984.
