J. A. Stevens is dedicated to reshaping historical narratives through a lens of inclusion. As a mother of a daughter with Down Syndrome and partner to a transgender woman, J.A. draws from a well of personal experience. Her own journey with Autism (ASD) coupled with her love for historical romance fuels her work to craft novels where visibility, equality, and love flourish. Her writing weaves together themes of sexual orientation, gender, race and disability and invites all to see themselves on the page. A Change of Pace is her debut.
