Duncan's Story
J.L.
Jarvis graduated from the University of Illinois and
worked in opera and musical theatre (New York City
Opera, Houston Grand Opera, national tours of Broadway
shows, and summer stock). When she tired of starving,
she attended the University of Houston, where she
obtained a teaching certificate, a law degree, and a
love of research and writing. A year of family law
practice convinced her that she should instead teach
and
write, which she now happily does.
