Jenna Satterthwaite

Jenna Satterthwaite grew up in Spain, lived briefly in France, and is now happily settled in Chicago with her husband and three kids. Jenna studied classical guitar at the Conservatorio Profesional de Música de Zaragoza and earned her BAs in English Lit and French at Indiana University. She works a 9-5 style office job where she types many emails while drinking many cups of excellent coffee. Once upon a time, Jenna moonlighted as a singer-songwriter in folk band Thornfield.

In the winter, you can find Jenna obsessively and cozily pounding out novels on her laptop by the fireplace. In the summer, you can find her getting sunburned at the pool with her kids, vaguely wondering how a novel is even written.

She loves sushi, reading in her natural habitat (aka her bed), and women taking back their power.

She wrote her autobiography at age six. This is what she had to say about herself on Page 1:

“I love myself very much. If I did not have myself I would not be alive! Isn’t that so amazing! Life is so so so so so so so so so so so amazing! I like life. I like living. I really don’t enjoy candy as much as other people do. I love crystal balls. They are so cool. I love them.”

Minus the crystal balls, all these things still hold true.
