About this author

Jen grew up during a magical time in which Ghostbusters, Star Wars, E.T. and The Goonies were the biggest blockbusters. Her love of sci-fi exploded over time, eventually growing into a career of writing YA fiction with a paranormal flair. When not sitting at her Mac, she can be found at concerts and movies, hanging with friends, chilling at her lake home, taking pictures, working on graphic design projects, traveling, or at home with her husband in southern Minnesota and trying to keep up with their four active children.


Happy Friday and long weekend to everyone! As part of VikLit's Celebrate the Small Things blog hop, I'm going to give a quick rundown of the reasons why I'm partying like it's 1999 (okay bad reference because I was extremely pregnant with my firstborn that New Year's Eve and didn't party at all).

“As I was escorted outside by the officers, my friends looked back at me with blank expressions. I don’t think they knew what to say to me. I had lied to them about my home life. They had always been there for me and probably would have understood if I had told them the truth from the start, but it was too late. All the lies I had told them about having a perfect family had been shattered by that one incident.”
Jen Naumann, What I've Done

“You know that feeling when everyone around you is happy and you feel like you're standing back to watch them from afar? Like you're in this crappy little theatre all by yourself, watching the lives of other people who are totally fabulous? Yeah, that's me.”
Jen Naumann, Cheating Death

“We're all guilty of saying insincere things at one point or another, if only just to make the moment not totally suck as much as it truly does.”
Jen Naumann, The Day Zombies Ruined My Perfectly Boring Life

“It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.”
J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

“If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that.”
Stephen King

“Get busy living or get busy dying.”
Stephen King, The Shawshank Redemption

“Good books don't give up all their secrets at once.”
Stephen King

“Sometimes being a bitch is all a woman's got to hold on to.”
Stephen King, Dolores Claiborne
