J. A. Armitage lives in a total fantasy world (because reality is boring, right?). She's traveled the world, working as everything from a banana picker in Australia to a Pantomime clown, has climbed to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro and the bottom of the Grand Canyon, and once gave birth to a surrogate baby for a friend of hers. She is coauthor, with J. A. Culican, of the Dragon Tamer series.
