Author bio:
TJ Bennett has been writing for publication since 2000, but
she’s been interested in it a lot longer than that. It wasn’t the best of books
that got her writing, however; it was the worst. After slamming one
particularly awful novel against the wall and complaining to her husband, “I
can do better than that,” he challenged her to “just do it.” That was all the
encouragement she needed.Since then, TJ has placed in over a dozen literary
contests, including the Pacific Northwest Writers Association’s mixed-genre
contest, the Daphne du Maurier mystery contest, the Holt Medallion, the Book
Buyers Best, and many others. In 2005, she received a nomination in RWA's
Golden Heart paranormal category for her novel, Dreamweaver. In 2006, The
Justice Seeker, a paranormal romance about an alien cop, received first,
second, and third place, respectively, in the three well-known and highly
respected contests in which it was entered. Her first published novel,The Legacy,
a historical romance set in Early Reformation Germany about the destructive
nature of secrets, was released in April 2008 (Medallion Press). Her second, The Promise,
a follow on to The Legacy, was released in May 2009.
TJ has been a judge for several contests, including the Golden
Pen, the Emily, the Golden Heart, and the RITA, and she has led plotting and
characterization workshops for several writers’ groups. She also served as the
editor for the Los Angeles Romance Authors award-winning newsletter, The
LARA Confidential, as well as contributing several articles.
Her varied background includes extensive travel in her youth as
a military dependent in Europe; being president of her own consulting business
for several years, where she used the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator to help CEOs
and managers develop successful work teams; and working thirteen years as a
civilian contract negotiator for the US Air Force, buying multi-million dollar
satellite and weapons systems.
She returned to her first love of writing in 2000. Armed with a
BA and an MA in English, she also taught college level English and edits
dissertations and novels.
TJ knows a lot about the black moments of life, and uses that
knowledge to enhance her writing. She believes that nothing is ever lost, and
no painful experience is in vain: it’s all research.
