: About Me

From an early age, Jen was an avid reader. In school she loved creative writing and english classes were always her strong suit. She has a vivid imagination and is constantly thinking up new ideas for stories.

Joining Helium has given Jen a chance to explore new ideas and share her thoughts as she broadens her horizons in writing. It also helps to calm the writing bug when she has a lot on her mind.

Besides writing, Jen loves cooking, gaming, reading, music, movies, knitting and animals of all sorts.

She currently lives in New Hampshire with her husband, two cats, rabbit and hedgehog.
