JP Summers is a Native Texan who resides on a 140 acre farm in northern Wisconsin with her husband and their children. She is a self-published author that loves chocolate and crushing over fictional men that are so unbelievably smoldering, you swear the pages could actually go up in flames while reading the book.
This past year she became an advocate for migraines and headache disorders after being diagnosed with chronic migraines and cluster headaches.
Despite how disabling her condition can be at times, she has several books lined up to be published in 2014. She also has plans to speak at several migraine conferences and recently attended Headache On The Hill in Washington D.C. with other advocates who are just as passionate about raising migraine/headache awareness.

What happens when you see your ex-best friend for the first time in years, fight horribly with them, and end up trapped in a cottage with them as storms swirl outside? If you’re Tia, you attempt to keep your distance and hope the storm ends soon, especially when said ex-best friend also happens to be the only boy you’ve ever loved. In The Storms That Fated Us, J.P. Summers writes a riveting tale of lies and deception and of course, misunderstandings. What was supposed to be a relaxing weekend in an amazing, if borrowed, cottage turns into a weekend of reckoning, truths revealed, and storms raging both inside and outside of the cottage. The initial reunion between Tia and Carson doesn’t go smoothly, to say the least, but with trees down due to the impending storm there’s nothing to be done but share a gigantic cottage filled with secrets and lies from years ago.
By using flashbacks, J.P. Summers gives us a clear picture of the friendship, secret love, and ultimate broken friendship that underwrites every word spoken between Tia and Carson. She has been carrying guilt and heartache for years, but she refuses to allow Carson to lay all the blame at her feet, which makes for some pretty amazing sparks when they do let down their respective guards. The Storms That Fated Us is a pretty apt title since most of the story is old hurts brewing until they erupt in a storm of blame and name-calling. At times the fights between Tia and Carson are pretty immature, but given the way their relationship ended it is no surprise they still relate to one another as teenagers.
Summers has written a pretty great story that forces you to ride the emotional roller coaster to the very end.
