Welcome! Please, have a seat, take a load off. You're in good hands now.
Things are still under construction here but I'll post periodically with updates, musings, and--hopefully--how to buy my book one day.
Thanks for stopping by!
About
About Me!
I'm Jenn (she/her,) punk-ass book jockey by day, crime fiction author by night. When I'm not writing, I'm agonising about writing, thinking about writing, and constantly second-guessing if deciding to be a writer was a good idea. I also like to read, play video games, work out, wail on the moors, dive deep into rabbit holes about random topics, and spend time with my family. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you come back!

![Queer is not just an orientation, it's a political label. It's a recognition of the fact that I exist outside of the heteronormative, white, patriarchal colonizer box.
I used to feel like being queer was a curse. The media I consumed growing up led me to believe that queer women were victims and predators destined for jail or the grave. I didn't know any real queer people. I thought about it a lot, that I was different [derogatory], that something had gone wrong in my past or in my brain chemistry that made me somehow less than my straight peers. I thought being queer meant a life of loneliness, fear, and isolation.
But you know what? I don't think about being queer anymore. I just *am*. I'm the best version of me I can be, surrounded by abundance and joy and love. I am different [compliment]. I am successful. I am lucky. I can inhabit my own body in a way that feels authentic and comfortable. My queerness is a blessing that allows me to see the divinity in relationships between women, the joyful experience of being seen and known on levels that feel like my entire being is being stripped down to its molecules and studied under a microscope.
Pride Month reminds me to be grateful for these things, to remind me that I'm part of the script of history, writing and telling stories that separate queerness from its notorious past. We're here, we're queer, and we're just people, trying to live our lives. I'm grateful to those who came before me, those who are fighting the good fight now, so that kids who are growing up now can see successful, living queer adults and know a life for them is possible.
