Not long after that her mother moved to California, where she grew up in the bay area with her two brothers, mostly in Benicia and Vallejo. When she was 13 the family moved to Kansas City MO, and later moved to Raymore MO, where she graduated from High School and then attended college in Lee’s Summit.
In 1988, following the death of her older brother, Jennifer began to realize her full potential as a writer. She began to write some of her first short stories, some of which, where never finished. After graduation she attended Longview Community College, where she attended an English course, which helped her to ‘fine tune’ her descriptive writing, and inspiring her to do more.
Throughout the years Jennifer always wanted to be a writer, having scored 2nd highest in her class, in an essay competition in the 4th grade, and then publishing her first poem in the 7th grade in 1988. She has written several short stories, most never seen by others, but hopes to be able to publish them soon as well. The Devils Minion is her first full-length novel, and is a great accomplishment for her.
Jennifer herself loves to read, and has been inspired by such great writers as Steven King, her favorite author, Dean Koontz and H.P. Lovecraft. Jennifer now lives in Olathe Ks with her son Caleb, as a single mother. Because of this Jennifer plans to finish her college education and actively pursue a career in Journalism.view less
