Reed was born in Charleston, West Virginia, the youngest of three children. In 1958, her father was transferred to central Ohio and the family settled in a small town by the name of Baltimore. In 1987, J. B. returned to her roots when she and her daughter relocated to Charleston, West Virginia. In 2006 J. B. accepted a job transfer and found herself once again residing in Ohio; this time in southern Ohio, in a little town by the name of Proctorville, where she currently resides. J. B. tried her hand at writing children's stories in her twenties, but with working a full time job and with her daughter's school activies, time was at a premium and writing was placed on the back burner. Demands on her time are less these days, and J. B. has found that she now has the freedom required to devote to writing....her true passion. J. B.'s crime novel series, Deadly Shamrocks, is a selection of three books. Deadly Shamrocks was released in September 2010. Deadly Shamrocks II - It's All Relative, was released in March 2011.
