Jennifer Morey (edit name/settings)

Known for her big smile and infectious laugh, Jennifer Morey writes her happy endings in Denver, Colorado, where she lives with her real-life hero and their pet store--three dogs: Maddie, "Booger" and "Dug," and plenty of fish. A twin with five amazing brothers and sisters and an invincible dad, it’s no wonder she’s so effervescent. Don’t let the quiet moments fool you!

Jennifer’s first stories were inspired by her childhood love of Man O' War, Secretariat, and The Black Stallion, by Walter Farley. Bubbles of dialogue above cartoon drawings of horses led to hand-written tales of adolescent love. Years later, and two months after graduating from Colorado State University with a BS in geology, her mother died suddenly and changed the course of her life. The writer in her resurfaced, and she pursued a serious career.

Associate Project Manager for the Spacecraft Systems Segment of a satellite imagery company, Jennifer works with the International Traffic in Arms Regulations and cat-herds her rocket scientist co-workers. When not writing or trying not to daydream at work, she can be found playing volleyball, hiking, flower gardening, socializing, or cuddling with Booger, Dug, and Maddie.

Finalist in more than twenty contests as an unpublished author, Jennifer's debut novel, The Secret Soldier, was a 2009 RITA® nominee for Best First Book and Contemporary Series Romance: Suspense/Adventure. The Secret Soldier is also a 2009 Golden Quill winner for Best First Book, and Kiss Me on Christmas is a 2010 Golden Quill for best Novella. She welcomes messages from readers.
