J.C. Eavenson was born in Chicago and raised in the surrounding area. Growing up with two siblings during a time when children running feral was normal, provided fertile soil for her imagination. She started writing poetry and children’s stories in high school. Eight years ago, she helped start a writing group at her local library. In those eight years, she attended several workshops at the Iowa Summer Writing Festival. She has written poems, several short stories, and two novels currently in the revision stage.

By day, J.C Eavenson is a Special Needs Teacher at a middle school. She enjoys walks, bike rides, cooking, and spending time with loved ones.
