J. A. KOMORITA

J.A. Komorita grew up in a house filled with books, where stories were as common as conversations. She fell in love with science fiction early on, but it wasn’t until much later that her romantic heart insisted on weaving itself into the genre she loved. Life—with all its unexpected twists—slowed her writing path, but it never stopped it. At 69, after thirty years of dreaming and drafting, she self-published her first trilogy with the help of her editor and a whole lot of determination. A fourth-generation crafter and the first in her family to become a published author, J.A.’s home is filled with cats, quilts, handmade jewelry, and more than a thousand books.

She would like to borrow and modify a quote from the esteemed SF author Anne McCaffrey: “My eyes are blue, my hair is grey, the rest is subject to change without notice.”
