PJ Sterling is a lifelong fan of high stakes and deep magic. Born and raised in the American Midwest, PJ spent years exploring local forests and imagining the secret lives of the creatures within them. This fascination with nature and the complexity of human—and animal—emotions led to the creation of the Thorn Pride series. With a background in creative writing and a passion for character-driven narratives, PJ focuses on building worlds where the romance is as intense as the action. When not weaving tales of shadow panthers and forest guardians, PJ enjoys tending to a chaotic home garden, practicing archery, and spending time with a very spoiled rescue dog. Claws Of The Heart is PJ’s latest exploration into the wilds of the heart.
