JB Maerten has long been committed to aligning her work with her personal values.

Before turning to her passion for writing, she served people living with HIV/AIDS, and, later, people experiencing homelessness. A lover of nature and the proud owner of a vivid imagination, JB explores dramas at the intersection of science and philosophy. Of One Mind is her first novel. 

JB lives in Northern California with her wife and their two four-legged roommates. They enjoy taking long walks, birdwatching, and cheering for their favorite women’s basketball teams.
