Jennifer Dunne

Jennifer Dunne has always been a voracious reader, devouring romance, fantasy, and science fiction books by the score. When she turned her hand to writing books, those three elements mixed and mingled freely in her works. Her first novel, Raven's Heart, won the EPPIE award for best SF original ebook, and took second place in the Sapphire Awards for best science fiction romance. She has written a vampire romance (Dark Salvation), and contributed anthology stories about holidays on distant worlds ("To Life" in Infinite Celebrations), do-gooding demons ("Vacation" in Heaven & Hell), and magical animal rights activists ("The Tower"). Her newest novel, Shadow Prince, is the first of a proposed series of fantasy stories set in the Illornian Empire. When not writing or reading, Jennifer works for IBM as a web site developer. Jennifer is also active in a number of writing organizations, and has served two terms as president of her local RWA chapter, two terms as president of RWA's Fantasy, Futuristic & Paranormal special interest chapter, and six years as the managing editor of the SF Romance newsletter, in addition to teaching online writing classes.
