Jennifer Worrell got hooked on writing stories in kindergarten using mimeographed prompts. Her supplier, Mrs. Davenport, kept a stash of the Purple Monster handy for a quick fix. Though she kicked the habit for a short time, Jenny's writing problem has spiraled out of control. But don't worry. She can quit whenever she wants to.

Her debut novel, Edge of Sundown, was re-released in January 2024.

Her short stories and essays have been published in As It Ought to Be, Quail Bell, Ink Foundry, To L.A. With Love, Hooghly Review, West England Bylines, NECKSNAP Magazine, Broken Antler Magazine, Channel Magazine, and many other fine magazines and anthologies.
