Hello! I'm J P Lundstrom

I used to write stories in high school, but never got into it, since I was busy with studies and social life, then later career and family. A couple of years ago I decided to go back to writing, and I think I'm doing pretty well.
I chose to use initials as my pen name because sometimes I write from the female POV, and sometimes the male. But that fell through when I gave myself away by writing about topics that were pretty gender-specific, so I have to confess: I'm a female.
I was born in Los Angeles, then grew up and attended college in southern California. I have since lived for a year in Thailand, then moved on to Ohio, Texas, and now Arizona. So I guess I'm from a little bit of everywhere. All that traveling has given me a lot of experiences to use in my stories.
I spend a lot of time writing, and for relaxation, I read. I read mostly fiction, because that's what I like. I read all kinds--just depends on my mood. (I only enjoy reading nonfiction when it's research for a story, or something I can use in my personal life.) I also spend a little time at the gym, and walk a lot. In warm weather, I work in my garden--flowers, not veggies. My favorite pastime is baking--cookies, cakes, pies, bread, you name it. (Oh! Excuse me--I'm drooling a bit!) But I've quit that bad habit. I promise.
