The Journey to Mysteries: From Romantic Novels to Whodunits
Jenn’s literary journey initiated with aspirations of becoming a romance novelist. To pursue her dreams, she studied English Literature and Library Science at Southern Connecticut State University. Following her passion, she took up a full-time librarian job, a path that she hoped would not only cater to her love for literature but also provide her the impetus to start writing.
However, embarking on this path made her realize that a full-time job left her with little time to indulge in her writing endeavors. Consequently, Jenn moved to Arizona, changing her scenery in hopes of stimulating her romance writing. Surprisingly, her foray into writing yielded mysteries instead of romances. The intriguing twists and turns she deftly penned down for her characters were more akin to crime and mystery genres rather than romantic stories. Thus, Jenn shifted her focus and has been crafting mystery novels ever since, letting her readers dive into the enigmatic world of her stories.
