N.J. Gervasi grew up in Orange County, California but settled in New Jersey for… you guessed it, love. She majored in English and Political Science at Villanova University while tutoring athletes and working full time in restaurants. N.J. has always enjoyed outlining an ironclad thesis and has the awards for her academic essays to prove it. She met her husband in a forbidden tale of manager falls for and then marries the chef. The rest is history in the form of two fur babies and one actual baby who loves books just as much as his mom. Operation Black Horse is her first novel of many to come.
