About the Author

M.J. lives in Devon, UK. Along with her studies, she spends her time sitting in a coffee shop, writing day and night, and escaping to fictional worlds as a substitute for therapy. M.J. finds solace in her stories and loves to share them with her friends and family. She cannot wait to share the rest of them with you too.

She published Dormant Forces in 2021, the first book in her epic series The Last Mortal. The long-awaited sequel, Sleeping Shadows is out very soon, so stay tuned for exciting updates!

Annoying bumps in the road have delayed this series from crossing the finish line, but M.J. is committed to getting it there, driven by the love received from the fans of Dormant Forces. M.J. has always wanted to write the fantasy book series of her dreams, and fingers crossed, her readers will come to see it as theirs.

M.J. is self-published under her own company, Stone Soup Media. She plans to expand this in the coming years into something few have seen before.

Let me show you the fantastical lands built by these stories.
