J. F. Margos

J.F. Margos is a classically trained artist whose forte is portraiture. J. F. first began receiving art instruction from her maternal grandfather who was also a portrait artist, and whose father was a portrait artist, and so on up the family line.

J. F. has dreamed of being a writer since she was about 5. She started her first novel at the age of 11, but adolescence intervened. That novel fell by the wayside, but not J. F.'s Dream. As she shelved books in the Austin Public Library in her after-school job in high school, The Dream continued (while she secretly devoured her favorite author's works in a corner in the back - until the Head Librarian caught her - OOPS!). J. F. continues to work The Dream.

J. F.'s father was a mechanic with whom she frequently worked in the garage. He restored Classic Mustangs, raced cars and educated J. F. on the finer points of auto mechanics, welding and driving. Consequently, J. F. has a love of IndyCar racing, fast street cars with a manual gearbox, and a definite Need for Speed.

By day, J.F. Margos works in the Legal Department of a Fortune 50 company.
