About L. J.

Biography

L.J. LaBarthe is an Australian writer living with her cat, Castiel, in beautiful South Australia. She is known to her friends as Star.

Her introduction to writing came when she was still a child. When she was six years old, she won a competition for drawing a picture of Australian Humpty Dumpty, complete with Aussie hat - corks hanging from strings dangling from the brim to keep the flies away. The drawing was accompanied by an adventure story she wrote set in Australia with Humpty Dumpty as the hero. The prize was a holiday to Alice Springs in the Northern Territory, the experience has left her with a great fondness for the NT since.

As a teenager, L.J. wrote a fanzine about local punk rock music and distributed it at local record stores. As an adult, she managed a local punk rock band, and wrote for the Student Newspaper at Flinders University where she was studing her Bachelor of Arts degree in History and Film Studies with minors in Religious History, Philosophy and Art History. After university, L.J. moved onto writing GBLT erotic romance, which she has been writing for years.

L.J.'s publications include an essay written for the now-defunct Veinglory publication produced by Emily Veinglory, in the 2003 issue and a short story for the 2004 issue. A research paper on medieval women that L.J. wrote has been used extensively as a reference and guide for other writers, and is referenced at 'All About Romance Novels' in their 'Ask An Historian' section and as other places dedicated to medieval women's history.

With regard her fiction, L.J. has been published by Dreamspinner Press, Noble Romance Press, Freaky Fountain Press and Less Than Three Press.

L.J. can be found primarily at her blog, wherein she talks about anything and everything, related and unrelated to books and writing. She can also be found tweeting merrily on her Twitter and on Goodreads.
