Born on a dairy farm in Winslow, Maine, Jennifer's writing is heavily influenced by her childhood running free in the Maine pastures and woods near her rural home. She received a Master's degree in Divinity from Bangor Theological Seminary in 2001 and has served as an itinerant Quaker minister for several different denomination churches. Jennifer writes (in winter) from her farm in central Maine, where she and her husband (affectionately known as the Cranberry Man) raise Scottish Highland cattle.

(Writing) Life Beyond the Sovereign Series

Sometimes I feel sort of shell-shocked when I actually grasp the fact that I've written five books in less than six years. (Actually, six books, but I'll get to Apple Tree in a bit.)

As most of you know, in January of 2012 I set out to turn a pastoral message into a novel, Hens and Chickens. Somehow the simple story of two women moving to Maine morphed into a five-book series, The Sovereign Series Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Jennifer Wixson (?)

“There are very few of us who remember the day, the moment, when our childhood ends. For most of us, the sun sets on our innocence gradually, sliding down over the western horizon like a toboggan run down over a long, steep slope. We are never really conscious of the moment we reach the bottom of the slope; we just know that one day we wake up and the toboggan ride is over.”

“When I was young I made a list, "What I Believe In." Those ideals quickly exploded the first time I faced adversity. Now, my list is short and sweet: 1. Be kind; 2. Be honest; 3. Apologize when you fail at 1 & 2, which you will do, often.”

Jennifer’s Quotes

“We have a great deal more kindness than is ever spoken. (Despite) all the selfishness that chills like east winds the world, the whole human family is bathed with an element of love like a fine ether... The effect of the indulgence of this human affection is a certain cordial exhilaration.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson
