I do indeed love to write and have over twenty books sitting idle in my computer, waiting&#8230; I started off writing under the name of J.C. McGuire, &#8220;My Name is Aelida&#8221; a 4 part series, (a novel of Arthurian Briton and the strength of a woman in a world where men rule and her ancient bloodline is more important than her happiness), and &#8220;Shadow of the Sun&#8221;, a very emotional novel of Alexander the Great and his lover Hephaistion. Done from Hephaistion&#8217;s viewpoint, (we all know that he dies in the end) it was the hardest thing I have ever written. I still get tears when I read it. I still love all of those books and actually read them as if someone else wrote them!!<br \/>\n&#8220;Shadow of the Sun&#8221; got me into the male\/male genre and I began to write under J.C.Owens. I enjoy writing of the beauty of men loving men, plus the conflict in what a person thinks they want, versus what they truly need to become themselves.<br \/>\nI love to hear from my readers and always appreciate suggestions and comments for future books!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to my website!
