Reading and writing since forever.
LJ Cohen is a poet, novelist, blogger, ceramics artist, local food enthusiast, Doctor Who fan, and relentless optimist. She lives on a homestead farm in Central Massachusetts with her partner and two dogs (only one of which actually ever listens to her). When she doesn't have her hands busy in dirt, clay, or yarn, LJ can be found writing, which looks a lot like daydreaming.
LJ is a member of SFWA (Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America) and Broad Universe, a national organization promoting women and other marginalized gender writers of science fiction, fantasy, and horror.
Once in a Blue Muse is LJ's personal blog, where she has been posting about her life, work, publishing, and random observations since 2004.
