After leaving the South, Owenby made her way to Oregon, where she was met with intense weather, including ninety-mile-an-hour winds and storms rolling in off the ocean. This experience further shaped her worldview and provided her with a deeper understanding of the human spirit's resilience, which can be seen in the strength of her characters. Eventually, Owenby found herself longing for a quieter life and relocated to Washington state, where she now resides with her husband, who she affectionately describes as "hot nerdy," and their three purebred Siberian cats.

Her books, which include dark, emotional new adult romance novels, tackle the secrets that women are forced to hide, drawing from her own experiences in battling her demons. With her unique background and talent for storytelling, J.A. Owenby has established herself as a captivating voice in the world of fiction.
