Jen was born in San Diego California and was raised in Lubbock Texas. Jen’s life took her into a career of nursing. In 2008 she earned her Registered Nursing degree and began caring for patients in a fast-paced Intensive Care unit. Her dreams lead her to obtain an undergraduate degree in Nursing then a Master’s degree in Nursing Leadership and Organizational Management.

Jen has always loved reading and books. The idea suddenly came to her one day to sit down and start writing Shipley’s Secrets. The process at first, was a release from the busy day to day life of a Registered Nurse in healthcare management.

Jen’s inspiration to finish and self-publish came in the form of encouragement and love from her husband Jason.

Jen gets her inspiration from authors like Pepper Winters, Jamie McGuire, and Colleen Hoover. Jen hopes that the inspiration from writing Shipley’s Secrets will inspire her to keep writing in the young adult and contemporary romance realm.

Jen likes to read, write and watch movies in her free time. Any chance to drink champagne and eat pasta, she jumps on. Jen lives in Northern Colorado with her husband Jason, daughter Alyssa and their fur babies Madison and Milo Simmons!
