edit data

J.L.Cres is a writer and author of romantic fantasy, epic fantasy, paranormal romance and reverse harem romances. In her stories you’ll find strong female lead characters with sometimes several love interests. She loves to develop her characters in her writing so thoroughly that you’ll feel they’ve taken up a permanent space in your mind.

She lives in Ohio with her husband, three sons, goldendoodle Freya, and several farm animals. She’s a lover of reading, red wine, dark coffee and dry sarcasm. When she isn’t writing, she’s usually toting her children to sports or you’ll find her using her medical background to treat her boys’ frequent rough-housing injuries.
