Johanna M Bolton, who writes as JM Bolton, is NOT a Doberman Pinscher (although she did paint the portrait). She is an award-winning author who has been writing both fiction and nonfiction for more years than she will admit. One of her notable publications is the science section for Barron's GED book. Her other efforts include science fiction novels for Ballantine DelRey, and more recently a venture into historical romance, THE LADY AND THE PIRATE, the winner of the Royal Palm Award for literature. She lives in Florida and spends her time writing and playing music. Her books are available from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and other online sources. For her music books visit: fatponymusicbooks.com
