About Jenny

Drawing on her communications experience with engineering, safety, and cybersecurity companies, Jenny creates contemporary thrillers and mysteries for teens and adults. Raised in Ohio with Kentucky roots, she and her better half split their time between Pittsburgh and Florida’s Gulf Coast. Jenny was a Rutgers One-on-One mentee, and her work placed in the Academy Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting and Chesterfield Writer’s Film Project competitions. She’s active in the Florida Gulf Coast Sisters in Crime and the Rt. 19 Writers group in Pittsburgh. Nothing makes her happier than tromping through Myakka State Park in turquoise hiking boots, jotting story ideas in a dog-eared Moleskine.

She's currently looking for literary representation. Hiking boots optional.

On assignment to inspect a Utah incineration facility, her by-the-book approach drives plant manager Gus Lightfoot crazy—even after she slips her steel-toed boots under his bed. When the DEA sends a secret drug shipment to the plant for incineration, unexpected visitors arrive, too. To keep Gus and the crew safe she’ll have to do more than bend the rules, she’ll have to blow the rulebook sky high.
