About this author

Thanks for visiting my page. A few words of explanation about how I use Goodreads:

I find it difficult to rate books with stars, or to review friends' books. Therefore, I don't list reviews or ratings here. Rather, if I like an author's work, I will become a Goodreads fan and list him/her as a "favorite author" here. I also have one shelf listing some contemporary, realistic YA books that you might enjoy. On my blog, http://writerjenn.livejournal.com/, I do sometimes recommend books using the "recommended read" tag.

I accept fans and friends here, and browse the bookshelves.


I've recently encountered two wonderful posts on plotting. Both came to my attention via the blog of Michael Merriam.

The first was written by Mr. Merriam himself and posted at the Musa Publishing blog. It's a humorous take on the question of how does a non-outliner, a fly-by-the-seat-of-the-pants author, shape a story anyway? According to this post, it's not so much a matter of engineering the... read more »

I really appreciate your comments. Thank you.


Maggie You're welcome. Thank YOU for writing it!! I finished it yesterday in one gulp. I'm gonna reread it today. Can I just say that almost everything that the characters were going through resonated with me? I've been having weird relationship issues too and this book helped put a lot of things in perspective, especially in the end. It's really an awesome book. I cried and laughed and I didn't want it to end. I can't wait to read whatever you write next :)

Thank you, Maggie!



Maggie It's raining in California right now and I'm curled up on my couch with a cup of tea and The Secret Year. It's amazing! I can't put it down. I love Julia and Colt's mom -- they're so funny and REAL! The dialogue is so right on, and Colt's voice is actually believable. I've read some YAs narrated by a male protagonist and they didn't always sound like teenage boys, but Colt really does. I just wanted to tell you that :)
