M.J. Fallon is the joint pen name of two married lesbian writers who have been devoted romance readers for most of their lives. M and J met through a shared love of stories, began writing together fifteen years ago, and gradually realized that the books they most wanted to read were often the ones they could not find: romances in which women like them were allowed to be complicated, ambitious, difficult, deeply desired, and fully centered in their own love stories. That realization led them to sapphic romance. Together, they write love stories about women who challenge convention, navigate power, and create lives that the world around them may not have imagined for them. Their work is grounded in the belief that queer women deserve stories filled not only with struggle and grief, but with intimacy, passion, partnership, and lasting happiness.
