J.S. grew up in Shawinigan, a small French Canadian town, married a young military officer, and raised three spirited children. Over the years, she enjoyed many wonderful postings in many different regions of Canada.

     After her children left the nest, she began writing. Three years later, she captured her dream of becoming a published author.

     She writes a blend of romantic suspense and murder mysteries. Most of her stories are set in Canada, and if they are not, they feature Canadian characters.

     J.S. isn't sure where time flew, but decades later, she ended up writing under the Northern Lights in Alberta while spoiling four amazing grandchildren.
