Jennifer M. Waldrop
JENNIFER writes stories that explore the human experience — searching for clarity in the chaos, meaning in the unexpected, and connection through the characters we come to love. Her work spans from lush fantasy romance to quirky speculative fiction, all rooted in emotional truth, hidden layers, and a touch of the unexpected. Whether she’s exploring love, death, or the weird magic in between, she’s here for readers who crave stories that surprise, resonate, and stay with you long after the final page.
When she’s not writing, you might find her whipping together her favorite dark chocolate mousse, lost in the minutia of one of her excel spreadsheets, or power walking a beach in front of her house in the Turks and Caicos.

When I was in high school I occasionally read books but was consumed by other teenage things so I didn't take the time to appreciate a good book on a cloudy day, wrapped up in a blanket on the couch. It wasn't until I received a Kindle for Christmas one year that my world completely flipped upside down. When looking for books I came across the Contemporary Romance genre and was sold and I haven't turned back since.
You can either find my head buried in my Kindle, listening to inspiring heart ripping music or typing away on the computer twisting and turning the lives of my characters while driving my readers crazy with anticipation.
I currently reside in beautiful Colorado Springs where -

Taylor Jakovina
Hi, I’m Taylor Jakovina — author of the psychological thriller What She Walked Into.
Buy books on Amazon
I write stories about buried memories, unreliable narrators, and small towns full of secrets. My debut novel follows Sophia Whitaker, who wakes up sleepwalking over her classmate’s buried body with no memory of how she got there. It’s a book about memory, silence, and the dangerous things we choose not to say.
When I’m not writing, I work in data analytics (which is really just another way of solving puzzles). I’m also a big fan of late-night thriller binges, indie bookstores, and long walks with my husband and dogs, Peaches & Cece.
📚 My debut, What She Walked Into, is available on Amazon and online wherever books are sold.
