Jayel Wylie lives in Chester, South Carolina, her hometown. In addition to her fiction writing, she works for a local solicitor, i.e., district attorney, as a legal assistant for narcotics and juvenile crime cases. When she isn't writing, working her day job, or recovering from both by lying on the couch watching cable, she enjoys needlework, painting, and traditional Southern cooking. So far she isn't married, but she revels in spoiling her friends' children rotten and intends to have a family of her own just as soon as she can find the time and a suitable sweetheart. An avid believer in true love as a reality as well as a concept, she figures it's only a matter of time.
