ⓘ About J.L. Drake
When she is busy writing she enjoys traveling, spending time with her family, or just enjoying a night at home. Something you may notice in her novels is her love for the four seasons. Growing up on Canada’s east coast the change in the seasons is in her blood and is often mentioned in her writing. As an avid James Patterson reader, she has often found herself by his many stories of intrigue and mystery. She was a stay at home mother but was starting to lose a sense of herself. Even though her kids were her first priority, she needed more. While she was a child living in Canada, she found an outlet for her creative side through Neptune Theatre and now craved a new way to express herself. Her husband told her that a friend of theirs had written and published a book on Amazon.
