Destiny's Journey, judged Best Western in the Easychair Bookshop competition.
Family deception kept Jennifer O’Malley from marrying her first love ten years ago, West Point officer, Glen Herrington. Now a Civil War widow, she leaves war-torn Richmo
As a writer/novelist, I don't want to be defined. I don't want to be hemmed in by the strict confines of genre fiction. I want to write truth, in all its forms – loving, romantic, joyful, and even mean and dirty – in a way that touches emotions and provokes thought.
Background
Information
Like many writers, I'm a bit of an introvert, most at peace when sitting alone in my "cave," transferring the words in my head to computer. Writing about myself is not something I find easy, or natural. So I'll be brief!
I'm a wife, a mother, a sister, a friend. I'm a writer who enjoys exploring relationships and emotions, wherever they lead. Most of all I enjoy writing about love at all levels, in all forms.
I'm a native of the beautiful Central Jersey Shore but now make my home in the peace and quiet of Virginia's Tidewater region.
