Jordan McCollum longs to write the next Great American Novel—but I keep getting sidetracked by these fantastic stories that happen to be genre fiction. I love writing, and at this point romantic suspense is my favorite genre to write in. How can you beat a story where good defeats evil and true love conquers all?

In addition to writing and maintaining my personal website, I write about fulfillment in motherhood at MamaBlogga, my personal blog. I’ve worked in Internet marketing since I graduated college and am currently editor of an Internet marketing news site, Marketing Pilgrim.

I was born and raised in Durham, North Carolina. A graduate of Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, I earned a Bachelor’s in American Studies and Linguistics with minors in Spanish and English. (It’s not as hard as it sounds. ) When I catch a spare minute amidst raising my children, my hobbies include reading, blogging, knitting, and watching almost every murder mystery and spy show on television today (my faves are Law & Order and Burn Notice). My husband, Ryan, and I make our home in Utah with our children, Hayden and Rebecca.
