J.E. Hopkins


Biography

I have been writing ever since I can remember. It has always been a passion of mine. It's the perfect way to express whatever emotions I'm feeling for which I cannot vocalize. Writing is my true voice. It's also an avenue to let loose the creative juices that are constantly flowing but that have no place in my primary profession.

I am a full-time practicing attorney in New York. My original plan when I began college at New York University was to become a sports reporter. That dream eventually passed (although my interest has not waned) and I went to law school immediately after completing my undergraduate degree. Ever since then I have been practicing law and enjoying every moment of the profession. Although I loved the law, I missed the excitement of creative writing—telling stories and evoking emotions with words. That inspired me to finally realize my dream of writing a novel.

In 2007 I published my first novel, The Broken. It's an emotional story of a young woman's journey to overcome the devastation of years of horrid child abuse at the hands of her uncle. At the time, I had not intended on writing another story, but reawakening my love of writing led me to create Lover's Betrayal. As long as that desire is there, I will continue to write stories I hope others enjoy as much as I enjoy creating them.
