About the author

Born and raised in a small town in Michigan, Jennifer married her high school sweetheart. She got a job, which she left college for, and over the course of a few years, she had two beautiful sons. In December 2019, Jennifer found herself staring down the big 3-0. Having accomplished so much and at the same time, so little, she looked at the life she had made and knew something was missing. When picking up a pen and putting it to paper, after an almost ten-year hiatus, she quickly fell back in love with the world of writing. She made a pact with herself to do better with self-care and putting as much effort into her happiness and she put into that of her family. Doing so gave her space and energy to share with others the characters that had only existed in her mind. As our world continues to fight the stigma around mental health issues, Jennifer’s first book, The Vice, gives a glimpse into the mind of Harper Jones. A woman in her late twenties who is fed up with how she has been living but is scared that changing the future for herself, meant she would have to face her past.

Behind the books

Back of book blurb

 

"I don’t know what it is exactly you think will be accomplished by writing things down about myself. But since you asked, let me give you the rundown.

I have an emotionally distant mother and a dead father.

I have had anxiety since I can remember, and have been treated once for depression–although that treatment failed.

Given my need to keep my past hidden, the closer you try to get to me, the more I lie.

I have an annoying habit of saying no to all the right men and yes to all the wrong—recently showcased by my affair with a married man, while distancing myself from the one I’m really in love with.

But knowing me, you will never get the chance to actually read this. Instead, I will numb myself with the contents of a bottle, rip these candid words from the journal, and carry on as if I still recognized the reflection staring back at me in the mirror."
