Based in Northern Utah, L.J. began her writing journey in the most unexpected of ways: through the lens of motherhood. After battling postpartum depression, she found solace and strength in writing, which quickly became her outlet and, eventually, her career. Her first self-published series took the world by storm, aided by the passionate support of online communities like BookTok. This momentum eventually led her to traditional publishing, with Broken Souls and Bones marking her first release under a traditional publisher. In this novel, she delves deep into the human struggle to accept one’s darker side and the redemptive power of choice, wrapped in a world filled with Norse-inspired berserkers and magic.

But it’s not just her worlds that captivate—it's her characters. L.J.'s protagonists are often complex, their journeys not just physical but emotional. She writes stories about people learning to face the demons within, balancing strength with vulnerability, and questioning what it means to truly love. Her work is both epic in scope and intimate in feeling, an exploration of how our darkest choices can shape us.

When L.J. isn’t crafting tales of magic, warriors, and fates entwined, she’s enjoying family life with her husband and four children, often indulging in her love for chocolate (a must for any busy writer). Her authentic, passionate approach to storytelling has made her a beloved author to her readers—and with each new release, it’s clear that L.J. Andrews is only just getting started.

Her books are a journey for anyone who loves tales of bravery, magic, and the kind of romance that endures through trials, and her journey from self-publishing success to the world of traditional publishing only adds to her intrigue. Keep an eye on L.J. Andrews—her worlds are as vast and full of mystery as the stories she tells.
