Hey there! I'm J.T. Geissinger, and I write dark, twisted love stories that'll keep you up way past your bedtime. Fair warning: my books aren't for the faint of heart. (If you're looking for sweet, cookie-cutter romance, you might want to click away now. Still here? Perfect. You're my kind of reader.)
I wasn't always a writer. Actually, I spent years in the corporate world, wearing uncomfortable heels and pretending to care about quarterly reports. But stories kept haunting me – the kind that make you question everything you think you know about love, morality, and human nature. The kind that live in the shadows between right and wrong. Finally, I couldn't ignore them anymore. I quit my job, planted myself in front of my laptop, and never looked back.
If you've read my latest book, "Pen Pal," you know exactly what I mean. It's the kind of story that grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go until the very last page. I love writing characters who exist in gray areas – people who might be considered villains in any other story, but whose motivations are so complex and compelling that you can't help but root for them. (Even when you know you probably shouldn't.)
My writing style? Think psychological thriller meets dark romance with a heavy dose of "What the actual hell did I just read?" I live for those messages from readers at 3 AM saying they absolutely cannot put the book down. That's my sweet spot – creating stories so addictive you'll call in sick to work just to finish them. Sorry not sorry to your boss!
When I'm not writing, I'm probably binge-watching true crime documentaries (research, I swear!), drinking way too much coffee, or spoiling my rescue dogs. They're my writing partners, though they contribute mostly by snoring under my desk while I work. But hey, everyone needs a support system, right?
I believe the best love stories are the ones that make you uncomfortable. The ones that challenge your preconceptions and make you question everything you thought you knew about romance. My characters aren't perfect – they're broken, complicated, and sometimes downright dangerous. But their love stories? They're raw, real, and unforgettable.
To my readers: you guys are my tribe. The ones who understand that sometimes the most beautiful love stories come from the darkest places. The ones who send me messages about staying up all night, missing their train stop, or burning dinner because they HAD to know what happened next. You're the reason I keep pushing boundaries and exploring the darker side of love.
What can you expect from my books? Intense psychological suspense. Characters who'll haunt you long after you finish reading. Plot twists that'll make you gasp out loud. (I've gotten more than a few "How dare you?!" messages from readers who hit THAT scene in "Pen Pal" – you know the one I'm talking about.) And always, always a love story that defies expectations.
I write for readers who aren't afraid to walk on the wild side, who understand that the best stories don't always follow the rules. If that's you, welcome to my dark little corner of the romance world. Make yourself comfortable – but not too comfortable. You never know what's lurking in the shadows.
Want to join my twisted little family? You can find me on social media, where I share behind-the-scenes peeks at my writing process, chat about upcoming projects, and occasionally post photos of my dogs being adorable (because who doesn't need more of that in their life?). Just remember: once you step into my world, there's no going back. But then again, why would you want to?
P.S. If you're reading this at 2 AM because you can't put down one of my books, I consider that a job well done. Sweet dreams... if you can still sleep, that is.
