I’m working late because I’m an author! During the day, I’m the executive director of a legal non-profit in my community. At night, I’m a romance writer! This is how I do it! 🎤📚

There are lots of new faces around here lately, so I thought it was time to introduce you to someone who has been here from the very beginning. ❤️

Meet Fripp. 🐾 My co-writer, constant companion, and official couch supervisor.

He’s been beside me through every Gull Island book, snoozing while I write about island sunsets, second chances, and happily-ever-afters. 🌊📚 He even inspired a character in the series, so I suppose he has earned his writing credit.

He doesn’t have much to say about my plots, but he’s always there when I need a break, a laugh, or a little extra love.

And maybe that’s why second chances are one of my favorite themes to write about.

Fripp is a rescue pup who got his second chance at a forever home, and I’m pretty sure we’re the lucky ones who found each other. ❤️🐾

🍂🖤 Ready for a book that will add a little mystery and magic to your fall reading list?📚🍂

This week on Jen’s Jewels, I’m shining a spotlight on A TIME OF WITCHES by Madeline Martin! 🌟

Think witches, secrets, magic, moonlight nights, historical mystery, and just the right amount of spooky. 👻

And let me tell you, Madeline has some very interesting inspiration behind this one. She’s wanted to write this story for more than 25 years, and the playlist she wrote it to? Pure spooky-season perfection. 🎶

If you’re looking for a book to curl up with when the leaves start falling and the evenings get a little darker, this one belongs on your TBR. ☕️
