Canadian author, fellow blogger and e-friend Carol Balawyder recently read and reviewed my New Adult novel, Calmer Secrets, on her blog. I would love for you to check it out.


“Calmer Secrets is a novel about good people making bad choices. . . about an affectionate family sticking together through thick and thin. Itβs a heartwarming book, filled with love and tenderness and suspense.”

Thanks for this, Carol, and for your lovely review of Calmer Girls as well. All of my writer friends and book-blogging buddies rock!
I can hardly believe it’s been four years since my last book was released. Although I have a finished novel and an outline for its sequel, I’m still patiently waiting for follow-up from four publishers who have requested the full manuscript. Time will tell! Have a great week, everyone.
That’s wonderful, Jennifer. I loved both your books. Wishing you all the success you deserve – looking forward to your next one too π

Jennifer, congratulations on this wonderful and thoughtful review! I love the sound of your book and totally agree that YA books are for everyone, whatever age! I went through a couple of years of reading so many and found they are often the most original of writing and storylines! Wishing you a wonderful weekend! π

Hi Annika, and thanks! I think what makes these novels more readable by all ages is the fact that they deal with a familyβs dynamics, which everyone can relate to it one way or another. Much more going on besides the romance part and coming of age.
Enjoy your weekend also and keep on reading! ππ

Thanks so much! I had such fun writing the series. Although they are classified as YA and NA, I think thereβs plenty for mature readers to enjoy. I hope you find them to your liking. πππ»
