Visit her on the web.

DJ lives in Biddeford, Maine, where she enjoys frequent beach adventures with her grandchildren and writing time shared with her Maine Coon cat, whom she is pretty sure is a demon in disguise. Cooper’s writing journey to authorship began during downtime from trucking, when she finally dared to write the post-apocalyptic story that was dancing in her mind on that September day. What started as a simple exercise in storytelling quickly became her calling. After raising her children and working various jobs—from accounting by day and delivering newspapers to driving limousines—she discovered that her true passion lay in crafting tales of survival, resilience, and humanity’s fight for hope.
