J. Truesdell lives in the wilds of upstate New York, where she professionally fights trash stealing bears in the summertime and battles her way through 10ft snowdrifts in the winter. She spends most of her time taking care of her family which consists of two cats, two dogs, one husband, two kids, and a Hellhound named Bob. Before you ask, yes, she is an animal lover which explains her full house but NO she is not looking to add. The house is too crowded as it is. At least that is what she says until she stumbles across the next stray. When she is not busy fighting the elements, hungry bears, or taking care of her family, she enjoys falling into the pages of a good book or is in front of her laptop where she hopes to create the next greatest American novel. No, not really, usually she is just trying to write down all those crazy ideas her brain manages to come up with.
