Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

JC Gardner is an award-winning, best-selling author, an international, inspirational speaker, writing coach and ghost writer. She has written five books, along with contributing to numerous publications.

Her latest novel, “Heated,” is an urban dramedy about a single mother’s plight to do better despite her negative circumstances. It is the recipient of a 2018 IPPY Award and an Amazon best seller.

JC is also a mentor and writing coach as an instructor with the nonprofit organization Youth Writer’s Rock, coaching and guiding youth as they become published authors.

JC was a closet writer for many years due to a devastating blow, in her past, that silenced her creativity and almost derailed her God-given gift of being an entertainer and storyteller through the written word. After a phenomenal, spiritual breakthrough, it was clear that what God has placed in your heart, no one can take away.

She is a natural born writer; it is infused in her D.N.A. and believes everyone’s D.N.A. makes them Deliberately Not Average! After years of living in a cloud of self-doubt and fear of rejection, she uses her platform as an inspirational speaker to transform and empower others to emerge from the shadows of past hurts and trauma with real life examples, practical solutions, faith and humor!

JC is a manager at an international nonprofit. She has been married for over 30 years, with two successful grown children.

Even in the drama of this book laughter was around the corner. Excellent interpretation from the writer on the thoughts of the characters while they’re trying to figure life out. I’d recommend this book to anyone looking for a different representation of a rags to riches story. A true dramedy!

This book was awesome!
I liked it because it was extremely detailed to be so fast paced, definitely a page turner. I couldn't wait to get to the next chapter! It has well developed characters and a great plot. One of my favorite characters was Jerilyn. She showed the strength and defiance to get through any roadblocks that she had gone through and any roadblock in her way. Her life changing experiences were those you could relate to. I have also read the author's first book "Sinful Liaisons" which is a great read, as well!

It's been a long time since I've read a fiction book. It's been even longer since I've finished a book. This was such an entertaining read. I laughed and (almost) cried. I don't watch much TV, but this book was definitely a show. Happy endings always do it for me! 💜

Heated is an enjoyable ride through life's up and downs. The characters are ones we know and can relate to. It is a story of determination and hope that captivates and keeps you turning the pages. The combination of drama and humor is well inter fused. Great read, well written, can't wait to see what's next.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, Easy Read
Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2018
Heated is a fun, easy read full of interesting characters and twists. Perfect way to pass the time on a plane ride, or to just chill with on the beach. Also features a female lead character, written by a female author, which is always a selling point for me!
