Pseudonym for Jess Michaels.
Pseudonym: Jesse Petersen.

Jenna Petersen knew she wanted to be a writer at a very young age and had a very specific image of what that meant.

In her mind, she would live in Los Angeles (why not New York... who knows?), attend book signings, drive a very expensive car and date endlessly (and apparently, unsuccessfully). There was little actual writing involved in the fantasy.

Instead, she got a degree in Psychology from the University of Washington, married her high school sweetheart and moved to Central Illinois. There was much actual writing involved in the reality and she learned a lot in the years she waited to hear she sold a book.

Jenna is a beginner to fencing (yes, with swords... actually, they are called foils), she enjoys travel, history, live baseball, and of course, all things related to reading and writing. She runs a website for aspiring authors called The Passionate Pen, which has become a popular resource in the romance writing community. She also writes erotic romance under the pseudonym Jess Michaels.
