Jennifer M Zeiger grew up in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado exploring every tree and cave she could find. Each new adventure fed her imagination, and, when she went to college, she was one of the rare students who knew exactly what degree she wanted because writing was her passion.

So in 2008, she earned her Bachelor's degree in English. And she's still exploring the world, expanding her horizons from Colorado to include everything from Washington State where the trees grow like giants to Germany where castles abound and the history is so thick you can feel it in the air! She lives with her husband, Nate, and their Bengal mix cat, who's better known as the Writing Sidekick. Her simple joys include coffee, chocolate, the occasional glass of

Hello More Than Enough!

Thank you for reaching out to me. Your enthusiasm for Quaking Soul makes my day! To answer your question, yes, I'm working on a sequel at the moment. I don't have a set date for when it'll be available yet, but if you're looking for regular updates, hop by my website from time to time. (jenniferzeiger.com) At the moment there's a progress bar as I work on the rough draft.

Blessings,

Jennifer

Update: The sequel to Quaking Soul, Theos Rising, is now out! I'm sorry I didn't update you sooner. At the moment it's available in hardcover but paperback and ebook should be available before the end of the year. Blessings!(less)

Saying Middle Earth would be too easy right?

Ugh, this is a hard question! Dozens of options go through my head.

Let's pick the Wax and Wane world from Brandon Sanderson. I love his magic system and the world in this part of the series is a fun mix between western, steampunk, and fantasy old world. What would I be? Some sort of Twinborn, which means I'd have some sort of Allomantic and Feruchemical ability. (If you're unfamiliar with this series, go read it!)(less)

On the Doorstep of December 2025

Happy Thanksgiving to those in the U.S.! Wow this year disappeared while I wasn’t watching! And somehow, we’re already to the time when I pause to reflect and remember the blessings from this past year. What a perfect day for it 🙂.

In many ways, 2025 challenged me. There’s nothing like moving to a different country to upend what a person thinks she knows. Everything from doing laundry to driving or

I often steer clear of retellings that dig into the villains from popular stories. Maybe it’s because I know how the character turns out. I don’t like knowing that things don’t end well.

Sometimes, however, I’m pleasantly surprised by the author’s tw

Quotes by Jennifer M. Zeiger  (?)

“You perform to the lowest level of how you practice.”
Jennifer M. Zeiger

“Those treasures were stolen from the village they destroyed. The
man pulled out a carved wooden horse and the two boys grabbed it at the
same time. They pulled at it, fighting for possession.

Zane’s carving. He shook his head and looked away, fighting tears. His
son’s skilled fingers could carve any image. He’d inherited his mother’s
slender hands.

Sweet revenge just became sweeter.”
Jennifer M. Zeiger, Midnight Abyss: A Collection of Darklings

“Father lied.
The knowledge tasted bitter on her tongue. She folded the
orb into a scarf she’d brought. It didn’t conceal its light, but it was
better than carrying the orb through the halls exposed.”
Jennifer M. Zeiger, Midnight Abyss: A Collection of Darklings
