\"Jen<\/p>\n

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I never know how to answer this question! I have three kids. My oldest, a daughter, is in her last year of medical school. She\u2019s 33. She traveled the globe and was in the Peace Corps before she decided to become a doctor. I also have two boys. 31 and 27. They are both married. I\u2019m a simple girl. I can boil my passions down to three things. My family. My writing. My love for being on the water. I was born and raised on the water. I raised my children on the water. The very first big ticked my husband and I purchased together (at 19!) was a boat. The call to the water is strong. It is truly my happy place. I will often sit on my dock or take my boat out on the waterways and mix my passions for water and writing. I get so much inspiration from the water\u2019s sounds, smells, and rhythm. It calms me. It brings me peace. Settles my soul.<\/span><\/p>\n

How did you hear about this event?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I have been attending for a few years now. It is truly one of my favorite events. I believe I first heard of it through another author friend. <\/span><\/p>\n

How many years have you attended?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

This will be my third year!<\/span><\/p>\n

What genres do you write?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I write Contemporary Romance, Small-town romance, Military Romance, and dabble a little in Paranormal Romance. I\u2019ve been writing since 2003 and my first book (IN TWO WEEKS) was published in 2007.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is a book of yours you wish more people read?<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a tough one. I think I’m going to have to go with An Inconvenient Flame.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is one fun fact about you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m dyslexic. I had no idea until I was I believe 19. Oddly enough, I had flunked 10th grade English. Twice! With the same teacher. And that was after years of struggling through school. And not just in English and reading. But with math and every other subject. I was actually lucky to have graduated HS and college wasn’t going to be in the cards. I tried community college, but failed most of my classes. I got a job answering phones through a family friend. To be honest, I thought what my teachers had told me all through school was true. I was just stupid. Slow. Not capable of much. Until my boss, who was tried of not being able to read my handwriting, asked me if I was dyslexic. He told me his son was. He paid for me to be tested. Even paid for me to take a couple of classes to overcome it. At twenty-one I went back to college. At twenty-four, I graduated with a degree in Business Education. But the best part was that I had fell in love with reading during an elective lit course. My professor even told me I had a unique writing gift. I laughed. filed it away and went about my business. I taught for a few years. Had babies. Then one day, after reading every romance novel at the local small bookstore, I thought to myself, I can do this. So I did. Even though, I’m dyslexic. It’s often hard for me, but I think it’s the funnest and proudest part of me.<\/span><\/p>\n
