J. J. Arias is an independent author of lesbian romantic fiction. Her books include Guava Flavored Lies, the Goode Girl Lesbian Romance series, and the Dusk Queen series. Her writing journey began with fan faction, and as much as she loved being part of a community of super fans, she got tired of working with other people's characters to tell her stories. She started asking herself: Why should we string together pieces of subtext when our community deserves well-developed main-text about LBGT people and those who love them? So, that is what she aims to deliver.
