J.L. Cres is a mother of three boys (not dragons, despite the chaos), healthcare professional, and the self-published author behind the Blade of the Sun series. When she’s not wrangling kids or saving the world one patient at a time, she’s busy creating the kind of unforgettable characters that only someone with her diverse life experiences could create. Her obsession with fantasy began at age 10 when she stumbled upon The Hobbit, and today, she writes romantic fantasy and paranormal romance that will sweep you off your feet—if you don’t mind a little danger (and spice) mixed in.
J.L. Cres took third place in the 2024 National Fantasy Fan Federation short story contest and is aiming for even bigger accolades as her writing journey continues. Between battling wild boys with plastic swords and writing her next novel, she also considers herself a red wine connoisseur and dark roast coffee aficionado—essentials for any mother who’s ever wrangled a bunch of energetic young minds.
