JD Locke (she/they) is a non-binary, neurodivergent sapphic author who believes that every love story deserves a happily ever after—especially the queer ones. After years of producing content behind the scenes, JD finally turned the spotlight inward and started writing the kinds of stories she’d always wanted to see: tender, tropey, heart-filling romances where sapphic characters get the happily ever after and the forever love that they deserve.

A California native, JD lives in the Los Angeles area with her wife and their ever-growing crew of cats and dogs (she’s the cat person; her wife’s team dog). When not writing, you can usually find her painting, reading, playing guitar, DIY-ing, or 3D printing something unexpected.

Her favorite themes to explore are found family, second chances, and the kind of love that changes everything. She’s a lifelong romantic who devours Hallmark movies (and wishes every single one was sapphic), and a firm believer that chosen family is just as real—and often more powerful—than the one you’re born into.

JD’s love of character-driven storytelling deepened during the pandemic, when she discovered sapphic fiction. With the support of two fellow authors and mentors, Kimberly A. Todd and Jamey Moody, along with the sapphic author community that embraced her like family, JD found her writing wings in 2024.

While she’s kicking things off in contemporary romance, JD’s inner sci-fi nerd and fantasy geek are never far behind. Whatever the genre, one thing’s for sure: there will always be sapphic love at the heart of it.
