J.J. Savaunt

JJ is a poet, a military vet, a cybersecurity nerd, and the author of The Reflection Within the Mirror a BCALA (Black Caucus American Library Association) award-winning book. After having graduated from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, JJ began working as a paralegal at the start of her writing career. 

Since then, JJ has received national coverage regarding her various literary works in NY Weekly, American Reporter, and Kivo Daily. JJ is a member of Crime Writers of Color and Sisters in Crime.

JJ’s work is best described as crime/suspense fiction with a conscience. She loves to play the undying conspiracy theorist… transporting her readers from the safety of their homes to a place where the heroes have crippling flaws and immeasurable odds against them, the women are stronger than they look, and the societies are riddled with secrets. 

When she is not working on her next novel, JJ can be found frolicking the Kaiserslautern hiking trails, building up her recipe book, binging anything horror-related on Netflix, and haunting local bookstores.  

Currently, JJ lives in Germany with her husband and is expecting twins.
