More about Jennifer:
Jennifer has been writing since she was about 10 years old. It has always been a passion, an outlet for her anxiety and emotional discomfort, and a creative escape. The fear of being judged by putting herself out there held her back for many years. Releasing Effie Goes to School in 2021, and making a dream a reality is still surreal; but now that the door is open, Jennifer’s creative drive is opening up tenfold.
After the loss of her brother Bryan in 2019, Jennifer realized life is short and chose to face her fears and start living her dreams. She is supported by her loving husband and two beautiful boys. Along with her books, Jennifer works full time, teaches art in her sons class every month, and always has time for family and friends.
I love reading to children and seeing their eyes light up as they make connections with the characters and storylines.
