About jl
J.L. Winters writes fun, action-packed mysteries. Her characters are clever and fearless, and you’ll always find bookish heroines, dark, tortured heroes, and a dash of romance and magic.
Before she started writing, J.L. worked as an OSJ manager, supervising the investment activities of several financial firms, where she not only assured they adhered to applicable regulations and laws, but also gathered lots of ideas for her stories.
When she isn’t reading or writing her next mystery, she’s probably teaching meditation and yoga, getting into deep, intellectual conversations (hello, Gemini), or dreaming of Michael Fassbender.
J.L. is best known for her Murder By The Numbers mysteries. For information on new releases and appearances, sign up for JL’s newsletter.
