J.R. Mason
J.R.'s writing is so smooth, elegant and relatable, you'll quickly find yourself wishing for a series of her work. By the end, you'll feel more like one of the friends she's calling rather than just a reader from the outside. Loved it!

Bio
A clever creator by day, naughty novelist by night, J.R. Mason penned her memoir series Confessions of A Sane Single Woman and its sequel, Soulmate Setbacks: Confessions II after more than a decade of being single and engaging in a savage search for a soulmate. From there, Mason went on to write the type of book that reflects the murky space where her dark mind resides – a three-book psychological crime thriller series, Stolen Pieces.
​
Mason received her Bachelor of Arts in journalism and mass communication from Cleveland State University and her Master of Arts in advertising/graphic design/public relations from Point Park University. A full-time marketing specialist position, along with running a freelance design company, keeps her quite busy and leaves little free time for her guilty pleasures – movies and massages! This Pittsburgh, PA native also takes joy in playing her trumpet, screenplay writing, travel, outdoor fires on cool nights and reading psychological thrillers.
