MJ Williamz was raised on C alifornia's central coast, which she left at age seventeen to pursue an education. She graduated from C hico State, and it was in C hico that she rediscovered her love of writing. It wasn't until she moved to Portland, however, that her writing really took off, with the publication of her first short story in 2003.

MJ is the author of ten books, including three Goldie Award winners. She has also had over thirty short stories published, most of them erotica, with a few romances and a few horrors thrown in for good measure. You can reach her at mjwilliamz@aol.com
