Jenna Kernan (edit name/settings)

Jenna writes fast-paced romantic adventures. Set in out-of-the-way places and populates with larger-than-life characters, Jenna's stories pit independent heroes and heroines against the forces of nature.

Happily married to her college sweetheart, Jenna shares a love for the outdoors with her husband. The couple enjoys all types of treasure hunting and this pursuit has taken them to many remote locations. They have dredged for gold in rivers in North Carolina, Colorado and California, dug for diamonds in Arkansas, searched for sapphires in Montana and most recently flown by bush plane to the Brooks Mountain Range north of the Arctic Circle searching for gold nuggets.

Jenna’s her first Western historical, WINTER WOMAN, was published in 2003 and was nominated for Best First Book for both the RITA and the HOLT Medallion. Jenna continues to write Westerns, but is not afraid to try new things. In 2007, she sold a paranormal romance, DREAM STALKER, to Silhouette Nocturne.

Jenna owns one pet, a rescued cockatiel that was captured, hungry and thirsty, wandering about in a minor league baseball stadium in Florida and whom Jenna believed was male until her little bird constructed a nest behind Jenna’s keyboard and proceeded to lay 13 eggs.

When not writing, Jenna loves discovering new places. She admits to a bad case of wanderlust and plans to wear out a good many pairs of shoes exploring. In addition to writing, traveling and treasure hunting, Jenna loves to scuba dive. Tamer pursuits include presenting workshops on the craft of writing, enjoying her family and friends, hosting an annual writers’ tea to raise money for Heifer International™ and reading romances, of course! Jenna loves fan mail, so write to her at Jenna Kernan, PMB 158, 3 South Ridge Plaza, Rye Brook, NY 10573, or e-mail at jenna@jennakernan.com.
