J.M. Mason grew up in the mountains of Colorado, the desert of Utah and New Mexico, and the plains of Kansas. She currently lives in Wyoming as a retired Registered Nurse. She has described herself as a slow bloomer. She was a three time highs school drop out and had the privilege of graduating with the class of 1978. She went on to become a Registered Nurse in 1990. Angels in My Tree is a result of the years of repeating so many things to only fail again and again. At the ripe old age of seventy-one, she finally put her thoughts on paper in hopes that others may benefit from her experiences. Besides her memoir, she also writes in the fantasy genre.
