C. J. Spammer was born on August 31st 1984. She lives in Cape Town with her husband and their two sons.

 

Being diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder when she was just 16 years old, C. J. found solace in words - singing, writing, reading. Writing was the perfect outlet for her depression and anger.

​

C. J. has written many poems and some short stories, and even began writing an autobiography - but she had never attempted to write a fiction novel as it seemed such a daunting task - the process too long to satisfy her need for instant gratification.

"Besides, what if no-one liked it?”

​

That changed when she discovered a three page, unfinished story she had begun writing ten years earlier...

"I read it and re-read it, and all I could think was 'Wow! This is really good. I have to finish this.’ ”
