MJ began writing full length stories at the tender age of ten, first jotting down stories her mother would tell her before bed then recording her dreams.  Orginally set on becoming a graphic designer, she began publishing a fan based magazine with stories by other young writers, along side her illiterate mother, whom was the main driving force behind her education and a constant source of encouragement.  After ten years of publishing, MJ gave up the magazine and comic and began to focus on her writing.
