Stein, J. a.: - When J.A. Stein isn't dreaming up stories of centuries past, you can find her training horses like those in her novels. Or perhaps you won't find her at all, as she frequently disappears into America's stunning wilderness to chase adventure. She loves to read anything with a plot and makes it a goal to write stories that can't be put down. She holds a bachelor's degree in English. Knightess is the second-place winner of a 2023 Royal Dragonfly Literary Award in the New Author Fiction category.
