Hi I’m Jen! I write Adult Fantasy and Romance, and love a fast-paced adventure. I’m the author of THE TIME CAPER, a low fantasy novel with a magical thief, forbidden romance, and monsters. Check out the mood board below!
I am beyond excited to announce that I am now repped by

I sent my revisions in to my agent
@_LiteraryKat_
last night! Her feedback has been invaluable and the story is stronger for it! I love The Time Caper so much! Can’t wait for it to go on sub!!! 📚
My dad is in his seventies and has always wanted to write a novel, but he was intimidated by the process of it. He finally started writing it and I’m so proud of him! It’s never too late in life to go after your dream! ❤️
We can’t forget about Magdalena, the next character in my Meet the Cast profiles for The Time Caper! Nico thinks Mags is suspicious right away, but Evie isn’t so sure. Can Magdalena be trusted? And how does she know so much about the mysterious box that everyone’s racing to find?

! Her feedback and GMC workshop changed my writing for the better, so check out her feed and link tree. Katie’s an amazing book coach, and an all-around awesome human!
Nico’s up next in my Meet the Cast profiles for The Time Caper. He’s trying to impress his dad, so he can take over the family criminal empire, but he’s failing miserably. When Evie and her magic walk into his life, he may just have a plan to win dad’s approval after all.
Meet the Box, a character in its own right from my novel The Time Caper! It’s rumored to be death itself, and both the Baileys and Savinos want it to destroy the other. If the legends prove true, will Evie and Nico risk their families’ retribution to keep it out of their hands?

Send your queries out and don’t expect a response. Low expectations equals less heartbreak. I also kept a list of wins when things seemed bleak (i.e. personalized rejections - they do exist! And maybe piles even if they ended in rejection). Looking for the positives really helps.
Ingredients for a spell—
✨ One magicless witch & one witch hunter
✨ Two sapphic allies that steal the show
✨ Three deadly trials to determine the next witch queen
Mix until the enemies become lovers, then add a pinch of second chance romance & a dash of betrayal.

Meet Evie, one of my main characters in The Time Caper! I’ll follow up with profiles for the other characters over the next few days, so you can meet the cast! Enjoy!
Took a few weeks off from writing because … well, life. From a house move to the kids bringing home a slew of viruses, I needed the break. But got back to it last night, cracked open that screen and the words started pouring out of me. So happy to be writing again!

I love chapter names, especially when they’re quirky and show the pov character’s personality. But I’m terrible coming up with them, so I stick to numbers.

, my wonderful book coach
@katiemccoach
just posted some of her upcoming events and updates! Katie’s Nail Your Character Arcs seminar and coaching sessions taught me so much about plotting and character development! I highly recommend!!! Check out her link:
I really don’t use this platform anymore to share stuff, so let me pop in with a quick update!
-The Writing with Coach McCoach podcast is still going strong. Check it out on Spotify or Apple.
-I have two amazing courses available to take anytime that are my heart and soul:
Next up is Boss Savino in my Meet the Cast Profiles for the Time Caper! Our leading man Nico can’t seem to win his father’s approval, so he jumps at the chance to hunt down the mysterious box Daddy Dearest wants more than anything. There’s no love lost between these two!
I’d like to introduce you to Evie Briggs, the first character up in my Meet The Cast Profiles for The Time Caper! She’s a thief with time-freezing magic, but lives like a prisoner in her employer Ma Bailey’s house. The others characters will follow, so keep a look out!
I have to brag on my kid for a minute! She got two first place medals at her Irish dance competition this weekend, and scored a goal at her soccer game! It was a busy two days, but I’m so proud of her! ⚽️☘️🩰
Meet Ma Bailey, the next cast member from the Time Caper! She’s the head of the Bailey Crime Family and keeps leading lady Evie under lock and key. Evie’s invaluable as a thief with time-freezing magic, and Ma doesn’t want the rival Savino Family finding out Evie exists.
And just for fun, below is a trope board for Evie and Nico’s journey. I’ve been a little quiet on this platform, admiring the writing community from afar, so please stop by and say hi!

! Do you have a favorite POV and tense when writing/reading? Mine seems to vary based on genre. For fantasy and historical, I’m good with either 1st or 3rd person POV, past tense. For romance, I prefer 1st person POV, present tense. What about you?
@realgmorrow
Grace, you have been THROUGH IT! So happy you are on the other side with a fantastic agent in your corner!!! Can’t wait to see what great things lie ahead for you and your manuscript!! 😀😀😀
@emzufelt
Take breaks during querying. It’s an emotional rollercoaster. And celebrate the wins - personalized rejections, maybe piles, partial requests and fulls. I made a list for myself of the wins and it kept me going!
Rupert is up next in my Meet the Characters from the Time Caper! He’s Ma Bailey’s fixer and is Evie’s confidante in a house full of snakes. But when Evie crosses Ma, can Evie trust Rupert to protect her?
