Hello friends! A few of my favorite things include a good cup of coffee, dark chocolate, traveling anywhere, and a warm sunny beach. And if I can mange all of these while writing, well, life is good. 

I listed my first historical novel, SCENT OF TRIUMPH, on Wattpad. It wasn't long before it was acquired by St. Martin's Press. It's now live on most retailers for preorders. I'm working on another historical now, too.

Next up is a new contemporary series I'm writing called Hostile Beauty. Follow a group of smart, stylish, entrepreneurial friends in Beverly Hills as they navigate life in the beautiful businesses. FLAWLESS is the #1 book, and BEAUTY MARK is the #2 book. I'll upload chapters here for you to sample. If you like what you read, check them out on Amazon and other retailers.

I'm originally from Austin, Texas, and a trace of a drawl still survives to this day, although I have lived in Southern California with my family for years. I am passionate about ideas, writing, and entrepreneurship, which is why my characters always seem to be starting or running their own business. History fascinates me, as does the perfect cheesecake. I love to hear from readers, and welcome your comments. You can often find me on social media when I really ought to be writing. Try looking on my blog or on Twitter @janmoran, or on www.janmoran.com. Happy reading!
