Jennifer L. Armentrout

Visions of Flesh and Blood: A Blood and Ash/Flesh and Fire compendium (2023) ( co-written with Rayvn Salvador )

As of 2020, Armentrout lives with her husband, her dog Apollo, and her alpacas on a farm in West Virginia.

Armentrout was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa in 2015. She has become passionate about teaching readers about it by being representative and spreading awareness. She also enjoys being a source of support for her readers that share the same disorder.

In 2013, her young adult novel Obsidian has been optioned by Sierra Pictures, but the rights were later returned to the author. In 2015, Armentrout's colleague suggested that she do a book signing for the first release in her Titan series. She was opposed to doing a lonely and awkward book signing, so she asked authors to come join her in the daylong event. After this, Armentrout created ApollyCon, which rapidly became a new way for authors and readers to come together in celebration of recently released books. The convention's success continues to grow with each event.

Despite receiving a great deal of rejections before her career began, Armentrout's first book was published in 2011. As of September 2019, she had fifty-three of her fifty-seven total written works published. The majority of her published works for young adults are romance, fantasy and paranormal, and some contemporary and science fiction. With her pseudonym J. Lynn, she writes suspenseful romance novels for her adult readers.

Jennifer Lynn Armentrout (born June 11, 1980), also known by the pseudonym J. Lynn, is an American writer of contemporary romance, new adult and fantasy. Several of her works have made The New York Times Best Seller list.
