Jennifer has been reading and writing stories for as long as she can remember. Early favorites included anything even tangentially related to food — Heckedy Peg (questionable morals; incredible cooking), The Berenstain Bears No Girls Allowed (the coolest fort known to picture books and it was in a berry patch), and Amelia Bedelia (that pie!) still make her smile.

Jennifer currently writes all sorts of stories, often involving heartfelt humor and only occasionally involving food.

She is a member of the 12×12 Picture Book Writing Challenge.

When she isn’t writing for work or fun, Jennifer enjoys reading, hiking, ice cream (making, finding, contemplating, eating), and chasing after her toddler. Also puffins.
