About me

J. R. Tootill writes military/protector/alpha romance. Her love of romance novels started when she was a young girl because, unlike real life, the monsters were always destroyed, and the lead characters got the happy ending they deserved. 

And because she still believes in happy endings, all of her stories have a happily ever after.

On a dare, she wrote a short story; that turned into a novel; and that became The Omega Series. Her fascination with how people can rebuild their lives from hardship is what fuels The Omega Series. Her characters are sometimes broken, often battered, and always at a life-changing crossroads. 

When not reading or binge-watching TV, she is talking with her characters, who never seem to shut up. She sometimes feels as if she is merely the catalyst to tell their stories, which is exactly how she likes it.

J. R. was a finalist in the Next Generation Indie Book awards. She holds a BA in Writing Arts and an MFA in creative writing. And has been teaching creative writing on a university level for over ten years.
