M.J. Woods lives in Central New York with her family and her beautiful but not-so-bright Bernese Mountain Dog. For nearly twenty five years, her 9 to 5 days were spent working in the legal field of a small town. She often draws from these experiences and re-imagines them to get her characters into trouble while they find love.

M.J. writes motivated by coffee and music, also drawing inspiration from the Central New York landscape or random stimulus (magazine articles, current events or people-watching events like the Great New York State Fair).

M.J. is a member of the Central New York Romance Writers and the Romance Writers of America.
