Hi! I’m J.M. Blooms :)
I’ve worked in NYC finance for over 18 years and in tech for almost 10 years now. I also teach part-time at Carnegie Mellon University and have traveled to every continent, Antarctica being the final (and most recent) in 2022.
I’ve always loved reading and writing, and enjoy digging into the hidden corners of money, power, and corruption. I write fast-paced financial thrillers shaped by real-world experience and by the places that have changed me, from far off eco-travel adventures to moments of deep resilience. My stories explore how nature, grit, and a little curiosity can reveal the forces shaping our world.
I’ll share my journey through Dear Reader letters 📨, Musings 💬, Research 🔍, Travel 📸 , Stories📝 and Serial Fiction📑 .
I’ll also share snippets of my writer and home life which Maxine, my beloved mini Aussiedoodle, avidly supports.
