About the Author
J.A. Huss never planned to become a writer. In fact, her dream career was to be an astronaut.
She initially pursued a degree in equine veterinary medicine, but quickly realized that the demanding schedule wasn’t for her. Instead, she earned a Ph.D. but found that she didn’t enjoy being a scientist.
After dropping out, she earned a Master’s degree in forensic toxicology, just to finish her schooling.
After graduation, she worked as a hog farm inspector in Colorado, spending her time talking with farmers. However, she eventually grew bored with the job.
As a homeschool mom who loved science, she began writing science textbooks and creating online classes for other homeschooling families. She wrote over 200 workbooks and was the top publisher at an online homeschool store many times.

In 2012, she decided to try her hand at fiction writing. That year, she published three books that launched her into a successful career as a writer.

Through her skillful storytelling and detailed characterization, Huss is able to draw readers into the lives of James, Harper, and Mercedes, and keep them entertained and engaged throughout the entirety of the novel.
At its core, Sexy is a tale about the complexity of human relationships and the interactions between people that can range from obsessive love to betrayal. The story follows the journey of James, a successful businessman who is harboring some deep-seated secrets, Harper, a young woman who is trying to piece her life back together after a broken engagement, and Mercedes, James’ ex-wife, who is still trying to come to terms with their failed marriage.
