Hi, I’m Jen.
I live with my husband, twin boys, and cats in an off-grid camping trailer on a permaculture farm in the California Sierra Foothills.
I write inspiring middle grade fantasy novels that explore environmental themes.
I am an active member of the SCBWI. I participate in and contribute to http://www.kidlitcraft.com/, a book club and blog where writers discuss contemporary middle grade novels from a craft perspective. I’ve participated in the Better Books and Big Sur Writing Workshops, SCBWI Asilomar conference, and critique groups, and have taken many classes and webinars on writing for children. Prior to writing fiction, I was a technical writer in the software industry for 20 years.
