Jae Hood is a full-time wife, mother, and nurse. And sometimes she sleeps. On her days off from work you can find her daydreaming, painting her nails, reading fanfiction, or investing herself in whatever hobby she's discovered on Pinterest this week. Oh, and writing. You can definitely find her writing.Jae lives in a small, rural town in northeast Mississippi with her husband, children, and more pets than she can afford. Jae fell in love with books as a child when her mother entrusted Judy Blume to explain life's woes, and she fell in love with writing during an assignment in junior high. "Dirty South Drug Wars" is Jae's debut novel.
