About this author

I got fired from my last job. It's true. I know you're sitting there thinking "Jenn, how could anyone in their right mind fire someone as amazing and awesome as you???" And i'd love to give you a good reason, but the truth is- being this awesome is clearly very scary to other less awesome people.

So I said screw them and started writing my first book. And you know what I realized? Writing books that mean something to me is a million times better than working for my ass off for someone who doesn't really care about anything other than the bottom line.

My soul feels more satisfied.
My heart, more full.

So thank you for reading, loving and recommending the stories I write.
I appreciate it more than you know. :)


Just what the heck do I keep doing to my debut novel, In Dreams, you ask?! *shakes my head*
I know, I know... I just can't quit it! :/

But really- here's the deal. ID was my very first book. I love the story, I love the message, but it's hard for me to read it at this point in my career. It was even harder for me to read it two months ago!(it was inpiss-poorshape and I have no one to blame but my... Read more of this blog post »

“Our scars don't point us in the direction were headed, Cass, they simply remind us of where we've been”
J. Sterling, The Perfect Game

“It's not that I can't live without you; it's that I don't want to. There's a difference. We all make choices in life and I choose you.

My heart belongs to you. And I'm not asking for it back, even if you won't want it anymore. I'm just asking for a chance to have your again. I promise I'll be more careful with it this time.”
J. Sterling, The Perfect Game

“When someone you love dies, people ask you how you're doing, but they don't really want to know. They seek affirmation that you're okay, that you appreciate their concern, that life goes on and so can they. Secretly they wonder when the statute of limitations on asking expires (its three months, by the way. Written or unwritten, that's about all the time it takes for people to forget the one thing that you never will).”
Sarah Ockler, Twenty Boy Summer

“- "Why don't you like to be touched?"
- "Because I'm fifty shades of fucked-up, Anastasia”
E.L. James, Fifty Shades of Grey

“Weeping is not the same thing as crying, It takes your whole body to weep, and when it`s over, you feel like you don`t have any bones left to hold you up.”
Sarah Ockler, Twenty Boy Summer

“What she really craved was a connection. That feeling you got when you knew you were supposed to be with someone.”
J. Sterling, In Dreams

“I love the smell of the ice... And the cold. The sound the puck makes when it's sliding across the ice or when hits the net for a goal... as long as it's our goal. I love the sound of sticks crashing against one another. The sound my skates make when I come to a hard stop. The roar of the crowd. The way I feel when i'm playing. I can do things on this ice that I can't do anywhere else.”
J. Sterling, In Dreams

J. Sterling In Dreams is currently at the editor getting a(nother) round of grammar/spell check! Should have the newly updated version up by this weekend. I apologize if the errors made it difficult to read (I wasn't aware of them until recently). I will always fix what I can for the readers- so thank you for your patience and understanding. I'm a work in progress.
