All of my books take place in Biblical locations and reveal parts of the cultures they include. I have 3 series ranging from Old Testament to New Testament Characters.

Thank you for the questions. I currently have an editor whom I adore and work well with. My ARC Team is always open to reviewers. If you have questions you can check out the ARC Team page on my website at: https://www.jeniferjennings.com/arc-team. I didn't plan on being an author. God lead me to this path on a slow journey, but I'm loving every step.

No great story. My mom saw this spelling version and preferred it over the traditional spelling.

It was the first way I found to express myself. I've never done well articulating my feelings. But if you give me a pen and paper or a laptop, I can truly express my inner most thoughts and feelings. Sentences turned into poems, poems expounded into short stories, and short stories blossomed into novels. The more I write, the more I have to say.

Reading the Bible is my biggest inspiration. As I read, I'm always asking myself questions like, "What happened before this? What made them do that? What would happen if...?" That's were most of my stories come from.

I'm always working on several projects at once. Normally, one big project is going and then smaller ones get a few notes or plotting. I truly believe in letting your subconscious work even as you are focused on a big project. I'm working on a Biblical Fiction novel right now, but have several other novels at different stages.

Write, read, and keep learning.

When I face writer's block, I usually do one of two things. First, I try a creative exercise. I write a backstory scene that won't necessarily go in the book or I think of a creative question and then try to answer it in story form. This normally helps get my creative juices flowing and I can get back to the project I'm working on. If none of that helps, then I take a break. I walk away from writing or anything related writing for 24 hours. Doing something else gives my brain a break and allows my subconscious mind to work on the back burner. When I go back to my keyboard, I'm refreshed and energized.

Control. There is very little I'm in control over in my day-to-day life. I wouldn't have it anything other way. God knows what's best for me anyway. Yet, in the world's I create, I can control anything. I control what my characters do, the weather, what happens to everyone, etc. Its fun to think about "What if?" questions and then discover unique answers.
