J. Nichole Parkins loves drama – as long as it’s fictional. She twists the real and unreal, weaving elements found in folklore and myth to create emotional reads with a punch.

Mother of three, Jamee lives in a state of organized chaos. Although she fled south to escape the snow, she spends the majority of her time avoiding the sun. Her head is in the clouds almost as often as it‘s behind a screen. She is never without a story brewing or a book (or three) in her bag.

Jamee can be found in quiet places, which is her natural habitat. Approach cautiously, she tends to run.

I remember writing something about a dog named Ruff. He had a rough life. Yes, I was cheesy even back then! I've always leaned toward dramatic, angsty, emotional stories, both when writing and reading.
To my delight my teacher loved my impassioned work and escorted me to the principal's office to show off my story. I knew - in that moment - I wanted to be a writer. I've never stopped writing, although I've let life and the distraction of my other love - public health - divert me from my original career path. Here I am, a quarter of a century later with my very own creative third-grader who shares my passion for the written word, full circle. Reinvigorating my original goal. (less)

There's something about bobbing around on the water with the sun reflecting on the bottom of the pool that seems to work. If I can't swim I go for a drive or a walk. Basically, I get off my butt and move! (less)

Margaret Atwood
“We were the people who were not in the papers. We lived in the blank white spaces at the edges of print. It gave us more freedom.
We lived in the gaps between the stories.”
Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale

Mary Jane Owen
“I'd always imagined the zombie apocalypse would involve more dramatic speeches about humanity's survival and less sitting on the bathroom floor having existential crises. But here I was, hyperventilating into a paper bag while the girls played with glitter glue.”
Mary Jane Owen, Last Mom Standing
