Welcome to the Official Website of L.J. Wilson

Thank you for taking the opportunity to visit my humble abode.

Here is a little info about me: I am a Chicago native, currently employed as an analyst for a government agency. I am also a married mother of four beautiful gifts from God. A great deal of my free time is spent writing novels, short stories, and poetry. In fact, it is my love for reading that sparked my writing ability. My mission is to write well-crafted stories that entertain, yet provoke serious thought on issues that affect all humanity, but specifically African-Americans.

As a young girl and as an adult, I have always expressed myself through writing. A person reading my feelings on paper is someone actually listening. I have learned that people occasionally use silence as a smokescreen when someone else is speaking. Secretly, they await their turn to talk, never really giving heed to what is being said. Reading requires attentiveness and no rebuttals, at least not until the end.

My writing credits include my latest release, A Taste of Java (March 2008). I also have two short stories published, Reappearing Acts in Crimes of Passion: The Anthology (July 2006). Something Special in Voices of Autism (May 2008).

I’m working on my sophomore novel, Desperate.
