She also loves tattoos, which shows in her writing since her bad boy characters so loved by her readers are covered in them, and so is she! The many tattooed boys who have drifted in and out of her own life serve as inspiration for her sexy male characters.

This gives her fascinating insights into the interactions between men and women, which influences her steamy plot lines and characters. She has worked in the bar industry since her college days, and enjoys the opportunity for people watching. She obviously loves to write, but also enjoys reading engaging stories that stimulate her emotions and listening to music. All of these things show in her choice of plots and characters for her novels. She’s learned not to let the judgements of others affect how she views herself. As a result, she knows how it feels to be judged unfairly, knows the importance of developing a thick skin, and knows from personal experience that sometimes making your own rules is the only thing you can do. Unfortunately, she did not always fit in. She even grew up in a small town in the mountains of Colorado. Jay is a vibrant natural redhead, currently sporting blond locks and lots of tattoos, who lives near Fort Carson in snowy Colorado with her 3 crazy dogs. So far, she’s published 5 books, with 3 more in the pipeline. Her books are published by William Morrow, and sold by Harper Collins.

She has scored coveted spots on the New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists with her popular Marked Men series. Jay Crownover is a fairly new romance writer who credits luck and a purple mohawk for her ability to hit the big time.
