From published work to her novel under consideration for publication, Jennifer loves to write…

“The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life.”  ~William Faulkner

 

Jennifer’s passion is for writing novels. Here, her novel under consideration for publication:

 

Water Lily

When twenty-eight year old fashion model Rachel Revere receives a letter from Prague, it shatters everything she has been told about her parents and their death twenty-three years ago. Her father’s heirloom viola has surfaced in the Prazsky royal music archives in Czech Republic, the letter says, and raises the question that her father may be still alive. With former boyfriend David Weston, Rachel sets off on a quest to find the truth of her past, placing her career, her engagement, and her family ties in jeopardy. In travels to Prague and coastal Japan, Rachel discovers her father’s viola, marked with ivory-inlayed water lilies, to be a priceless Stradivarius, whose true identity had long been hidden from Nazi and Soviet confiscation. And with the viola, she finds the final link leading to the truth about her past.

Inspired by the true story of the Lobkowicz family in the Czech Republic, WATER LILY intertwines the past and its mysteries with Rachel’s present search into long-held secrets, exploring the theme that despite the ways others sabotage the past, the human spirit will rise to discover it anew, again.

 

Published Books

Every day brings its share of difficulties and hardships, and each day also brings its share of joy and beauty.  It is in the choice between the two, on which we will focus upon, that determines the success of that given day.

ENJOY TODAY, a collection of short readings for each day of the year, is about remembering that even the smallest pieces of our days are secure in God’s hands when we trust him, and about finding the goodness present in the whirl and busyness of everyday life. For when we choose joy despite the daily struggles, we can really live fully as we were created to live, as we enjoy today.

Both THE ONE YEAR MINI FOR BUSY WOMEN and ENJOY TODAY have the same inner text, of one short daily reading for each day of the year. THE ONE YEAR MINI FOR BUSY WOMEN is the book published in hardcover with Tyndale in 2007. It is still for sale at the links below. ENJOY TODAY is the e-book version, published in 2011 with color photographs taken by Jennifer to accompany each day. The e-book version can be read on any computer or smartphone, and can be purchased for $4.99 at the links below.
