Born in Phoenix, Arizona to James & Amie Ajamie (a writer and an artist, respectively), Susan Wingate tried to fly at age five off the roof of their family house using only newspaper, wire hangers and scotch tape. She's been dreaming of flying ever since. Oh, by the way, she never jumped. Her mother ran out in the nick of time to stop her from take-off. She stuck to dance lessons with solid ground beneath her feet. In high school, Wingate became involved in acting when she joined the drama club and at seventeen, saying she was eighteen, Wingate went on a 2-month acting tour with a fly-by-night troupe called The Robinhood Players. At nineteen, Wingate taught aerobics, waitressed and bartended. She graduated from AZ State University in 1994 with an undergraduate degree in accounting. After three years, she moved from Phoenix to an island in Washington State where she began to write. To support herself, she ran a bed & breakfast for three years, closing the doors soon after September 11, 2001.
After the writing "bug" bit her she quit her accounting position to write full-time. Since then, Susan has written several plays, one screenplay, two short story collections and seven novels, four of which have been published with another two slated for publication in 2011 and 2012.
Her amateur sleuth series entitled The Bobby's Diner Series-BOBBY'S DINER (book #1) and EASY AS PIE AT BOBBY'S DINER (book #2)-has received acclaim through literary criticism and in book competitions.
Wingate's pseudonyms include, Myah Lin (literary fiction) and JJ Adams (noir mystery).
Her gritty novel, A FALLING OF LAW by JJ Adams is often described as Chandleresque in style.
Written as Myah Lin, her novella, CAMOUFLAGE was a Finalist and received an Editor's Choice Award in the 2009 Textnovel Writing Contest. CAMOUFLAGE is represented in a foreign market.
A lover of the arts, Susan Wingate draws and paints abstracts using oil as her favored medium. She lives in Washington State with her husband.
