Be sure to follow me on Goodreads to get every update! I live in sunny California with my handsome husband and my slobbery English Mastiff, Rupert. I've always loved stories and wanted to write novels. When I'm not getting words on the page, I'm walking my dog or cooking something (hopefully) delicious. Feel free to ask me a question or connect with me here, but you can also find me on Instagram or my website, JillMBeene.com. I so appreciate my readers! Thank you! ...more

Quotes by Jill M. Beene  (?)

“Keep making the real world better,” she finally whispered, tears tracking down her cheeks. “Instead of trying to protect people from the world, change the world so people no longer need protection.”
Jill M. Beene, A Sharpened Axe

“Love is nothing but risk. At the outset, in the middle, and especially toward the end. Love means that someone will get hurt eventually.”
Jill M. Beene, Miss Warrington's Portfolio for Designing a Betrothal

“Why would he do that?" Samiris said, her words muffled as Aster jammed a crisp cotton chemise over her head. "I just met him today." "Lady Samiris, whether you want to admit it or not, you are very beautiful." Samiris made a derisive noise that sounded a lot like a pig. "Well, you are very beautiful when you aren't doing that, at least. And you are different from every other lady here. I saw the way Lord Kinsley was looking at you during the competition. It seems you have caught his fancy and he is willing to publicly declare it.”
Jill M. Beene, A Sharpened Axe
