Where did you get the idea for your first book?
I was surfing the internet for writing prompts one day and came across a few that looked promising. One of them was, the pizza guy, a hug that goes too far, and something unexpected under the bed, or something to that effect. At some point looking through them all Gertie popped into my head. I thought to myself "hmm I've never read anything like that, this could be interesting." Bits and pieces of the story started coming to me little by little and eventually the whole thing just took off from there with Augie and Gertie leading the way.
How many books are there in the August Barton Series?
How do you come up with such relatable characters?
Do you have any advice for newbie/aspiring writers?
Decide what your long-term and short-term goals are.Do your own research and connect with other writers. The more information you have the better whether it’s useful right now or will be later on in the future. Figure out what sources of information are credible and what sources are not. Read books, articles, blog posts, and never give up.
How do you get inspired to write?
I listen to music, go for walks, watch movies/TV shows, and read a lot. Finding ways to let your mind relax can help you start to absorb ideas and let inspiration come to you.
When is your next book signing?
Check out my events page for upcoming appearances. Hope to see you there!
How long have you been writing poetry?
Since I was about ten years old. I love poetry and my passion for writing stemmed from poetry initially even though I have always had a creative inclination for story-telling.
How can I request an interview with you/Author Spotlight?
Email your request through my contact page and I will be happy to make arrangements with you.
What are your favorite Genres to read?
To be honest I don’t have a favorite because I like a little bit of everything. I have very eclectic tastes and have read books from almost every genre that I have loved. Basically if it’s good and interests me enough, I will read it.

Unfortunately no. I rarely check that account and my personal facebook profile is private and for close friends and family ONLY.

You can also join my Facebook group Jen Recommends for Book Recs, Discounts, Freebies, New Releases, Giveaways and more.
Can I send you my book?
Yes, but I cannot guarantee any reviews or that it will be read within a timely manner due to my already overwhelming TBR. I am happy to share/post about it though and I love discovering new books/authors.
Can I send you fan art?
Yes! I love getting fan art. You can send it to me via Snail Mail or DM/PM me on Social Media. Please go to my contact page for contact information and details or use my social media links.
