Originally from California, Lena Jakes now lives in Phoenix, Arizona with her three dogs, two sons, and cockatoo Cosmo. They all laugh at her sudden outbursts and scrambling for something to write a thought or idea down before it leaves her. As the oldest of seven children Lena often escaped into the worlds she found in books full of heroes, romance and adventures. Today, she still escapes, but now she runs to the heroes she writes about.

He was a former police officer, and was found shot in the head in his bedroom, a tragedy that was ruled a suicide. However, the gun was on one side of the bed, and his body on the other. They claim that he was cleaning his weapon when a muscle spasm shook his hand in the process - a muscle spasm they attribute to an injury from years before.

Cosmo vs. Crunch Berries

My life as a published writer didn’t actually start until about five years ago… partly in response to the many people who always said, “you’re going to need to live a life of your own once the boys are grown”. It took a little bit to remember what it’s like to have time to myself.
