Hi! I’m J.M. Blooms 🌸
I write thrillers inspired by the intersection of nature, power, and the hidden systems shaping our world.
Before turning to fiction, I spent more than 18 years in NYC finance and nearly a decade building technology products. I also teach marketing at Carnegie Mellon University and have traveled to all seven continents, with Antarctica under my feet in 2022.
I’ve always been fascinated by the invisible forces that shape our lives: money, power, nature, human resilience, and the choices people make under pressure.
Those fascinations became stories.
I write fast-paced financial suspense novels inspired by real-world experience, where ordinary people uncover extraordinary truths. My work blends financial intrigue, hidden systems, unforgettable places, and the enduring strength of people determined to do the right thing.
Here you’ll find the stories behind the stories.

You’ll also occasionally meet Maxine, my adventure-loving mini Aussiedoodle and loyal writing companion, who firmly believes every good writing day should include a walk, a nap, and at lots of snacks.
If any of that sounds like your kind of journey, I’d love to have you along.
