I think I’ve found my HEA in books, just like a lot of you.
When the New Adult genre was just getting started people went crazy for it. It has since died down, but Coming of Age stories will never die down. Coming of Age is something we can all relate to. A few years ago when I wrote Tragic people were even asking if the New Adult genre was necessary and I remember writing a blog post for my book blog, New Adult Addiction, explaining why I thought it was relevant. There is a little bit of this story in that post. The reason it’s relevant is because not everyone wants the sweet story. Sure, people read fiction to escape reality, but not everyone wants the perfect Mary Sue character to be saved by the billionaire and the perfect ending with two point five kids.
People want a little reality in their story. They want angst and drama. They want to read about the risk they never took, the fear they never felt, and the victory when the characters get it right. Or maybe they
did
take that risk, they
did
feel that fear, and they
did/did not
make it right. Maybe they relate the way I relate and just want to know that it’s
normal
. That other people experienced coming of age that way too. Either way, I write for those people. And if you don’t like what I write, well, there are a billion other books out there. Have at it. I’m gonna keep doing my thing.

So what’s next? A brand new genre, that’s all. Have you ever wanted to fuck Batman? Or Ironman? Well, you’re gonna get your chance to experience the sexy world of superhero romance in the next book called Anarchy Found. You think I’m kidding? ;) Nah. You know me better than that. Anarchy Found is the first standalone book in a series about Alpha Superheroes. No Spiderman here. No Superman here. We like the outsiders, remember? The anti-heroes. We like Batman and Ironman because they are sexy as fuck and they don’t take any shit. We like them because they have money, and power, and fuck hot Batcaves where they (should) take their women. They are dark, they are scary, and they have been off the market for romance…

JA Huss lives on a dirt road in Colorado thirty minutes from the nearest post office. So if she owes you a package from a giveaway, expect it to take forever. She has a small farm with two donkeys named Paris & Nicole, a ringneck parakeet named Bird, and a pack of dogs. She also has two grown children who have never read any of her books and do not plan on ever doing so. They do, however, plan on using her credit cards forever.
JA collects guns and likes to read science fiction and books that make her think. JA Huss used to write homeschool science textbooks under the name Simple Schooling and after publishing more than 200 of those, she ran out of shit to say. She started writing the I Am Just Junco science fiction series in 2012, but has since found the meaning of life writing erotic stories about antihero men that readers love to love.
JA has an undergraduate degree in equine science and fully planned on becoming a veterinarian until she heard what kind of hours they keep, so she decided to go to grad school and got a master’s degree in Forensic Toxicology. Before she was a full-time writer she was smelling hog farms for the state of Colorado.
Even though JA is known to be testy and somewhat of a bitch, she loves her #fans dearly and if you want to talk to her, join her
Facebook fan group where she posts daily bullshit about bullshit.
If you think she’s kidding about this crazy autobiography, you don’t know her very well.
