Introduction to J. V. Stanley

So…I suppose I should say a bit about myself. I’m a quirky, socially awkward, introvert with random spasms of hyperactivity and singing. I will sing your ear off and have a tendency of embarrassing my friends because of it. If you’re ever in Walmart during the holidays, and you hear someone belting out “Silent Night” chances are it’s me.

I love the outdoors. Hiking, fishing, hunting, nature, and identifying various plants. I’m actually studying to become a Certified Herbalist. Fun fact-I actually became a Certified Pearl Specialist for the sake of research for a current WIP.

I’m a nationally ranked pistol competitor and a poet so whaddaya know? I’m a warrior poet. I also have a penchant for walking on waterfalls. It’s one of my favorite past times.

I have two mini me’s, my dog, Poet (Great Dane/English Mastiff/Shepherd mix), and my cats-Gizmo and Muse. I am single with a book boyfriend by the name of Baldassare (Created by Tracy Ball for the anthology “Siren’s Lullaby”) who is so swoon worthy, I wish I could rip him out of the page and make him mine.

I’ve been writing nearly all my life–I live and breathe the written word. I love to learn and when I do, I dive right in. That’s another reason I love being a writer.  My works include my standalone novel “Faces In Still Waters” my two poetry books “Chasing The Red” and “Fire and Water”, and the anthologies I was honored to be a part of “Steamed”, “Forest of The Dark”, “Beyond Atlantis”, “Beyond Wonderland”, “Campfire Tales”, “Do Not Pet The Humans”, “Infamy”, “Devious Ingenues”, “Grave Importance”, “The Light Shines Through”, “Gr8 Greeks”, & “Siren’s Lullaby”. I’m also working on my “Orange Bliss Romance Series” in the “Ice Cream Shop Series” &“Candy Shop Series”. The first novella, “Love Notes & Zanzibar” was published July 2019.
