After living in the Reno/Sparks area for over forty years, J. Lee Taylor considers herself a native Nevadan. At the University of Nevada, Reno, she discovered her love for writing fiction. Mysteries became her genre of choice the day she killed off a villain and enjoyed it. She enjoys the change of seasons living in the Sierra Nevada foothills, and shares her home with an in-corgi-able Corgi where she is busy writing her next novel.
