edit data

J.S. fell in love with the magic of stories as a child and has been obsessed with them ever since. Her 2016 “Wolf” poem was recognized by Indiana’s poet laureate. After being instructed to write only stories that "spread fear, hate, and anger" for several news publications, she became disgusted and left the industry. Though diagnosed with epilepsy after suffering a stroke at age 25, she hasn’t let that stop the pursuit of her dreams. She is the author of the recently published novel, “Darkness Whispers,” and is currently at work on the hundreds of story ideas living in her imagination. J.S. lives with her husband and their cat near Phoenix, AZ.

By the title, I assumed this would be a book talking about the controversy of this drug. Maybe 1% of it was about the side effects (& of course it listed less than 10 of the hundreds of side effects) or controversy. The rest of the book was pushing k ...more

J.S. Nelson and 1 other person liked Natalie's review of Firelight (Firelight, #1): "There was nothing completely awful about this book, I just found it a little Twilight-esque, in the angsty, teen romance department. I can't really stomach crap like that right now. I really don't like the instant "going gaga over a good looking guy " Read more of this review »
