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.
