Hello! I'm J.L. Heeren, an independent book designer and author of LGBTQ+ genre fiction. An avid reader since childhood, I majored in creative writing and publishing at the University of Iowa, and dove into the world of indie publishing immediately after graduating. I currently live in the American Midwest with my lovely cat and unique taste in fashion.

I've just published my first book - "Shadow Herald", a dark fantasy story with a lesbian romance sideplot. If you love fantasy and have been dying for more LGBTQ+ genre fiction, give it a look! You can find it on Amazon, B&N, and Rakuten Kobo.

I'm also working to set up a book design service for independent authors on my website. I'll let you know when I have everything finalized!
