With nearly two decades of experience as a professional communicator spanning all facets of the energy industry, S. J. Cunningham has had plenty of time to hone her writing craft and observe human behavior. In her debut novel, All This Was Mission, she puts this power of observation to good use, crafting a story that examines the difficulty of the human journey, the power of self-reflection and self-forgiveness, and the overwhelming beauty of the journey of life, which we all have the privilege to travel. Cunningham holds an MA in fiction and a BA in English literature from Seton Hill University in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. She is the proud mom of three amazing children who fill her with joy, laughter, and appreciation each day.
