M.J. Kane stumbled into writing. An avid reader, this stay at home mom never lost the overactive imagination of an only child. As an adult she made up stories, though never shared them, to keep herself entertained. It wasn't until surviving a traumatic medical incident in 2006 that she found a reason to let the characters inhabiting her imagination free. Upon the suggestion of her husband, she commandeered his laptop and allowed the characters to take life. It was that, or look over her shoulder for men caring a purple strait jacket. And the rest, as they say, is history. No longer a television addict, if M.J. isn't reading a book by one of her favorite authors, she's battling with her creative muse to balance writing and being a wife and mother. She resides in the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia with her high school sweetheart, four wonderful children, and four pit bulls. MJ's debut novel, A Heart Not Easily Broken, Book one of the Butterfly Memoirs, became an instant Amazon Bestseller in Multicultural Romance and African-American Literature and Fiction within hours of publication. It has also spent time on the African-American Women's Fiction and African-American Romance Bestsellers lists. In addition to writing, MJ is the director of a writer's group which meets at Barnes & Nobel, is the Newsletter Editor for the Romance Novels in Color website, and shares writing tips, introduces her followers to new authors, and shares her personal experiences on her blog, This Writer's Life. Other activities she enjoys include: creating custom floral arrangements, assisting her children in their creative pursuits of music and art, and supporting her husband's music production business, 3D Sounds.Learn more about the author by visiting these online interviews:* SORMAG Magazine Feature- Jan/Feb Issue, page 36* Read You Later with Lasheera Lee- Blog Talk Radio Interview- September 2013* Television Interview with DeKalb County Commissioner Stan Watson on The Stan Watson Show - October 2013MJ can be found online connecting with readers and other authors sharing her writing, talking about music, life, and family.
