Jennifer Lewis has been making up stories since the day she was born. She always loved to draw as well as write and as a child she drew graphic novellas featuring penniless but plucky Cinderella heroines. Her love of daydreaming earned me the nickname "Dozy Duck" in Kindergarten, and she still consider staring into space to be a constructive activity.

Jennifer was born in Manhattan but her family moved to London when she was six months old, toting her along in a cat basket. She grew up as a Brit and traveled extensively in Europe during my only-slightly-misspent formative years. She came back to the States to earn a bachelor's degree in Semiotics from Brown University and begin a journey into the world of trans-Atlantic accents that she has still not fully emerged from. On graduation she returned to New York, where she learned to explain Semiotics on job interviews ("It's the study of signs and systems of meaning!") and to apply her knowledge in a very enjoyable career at a television museum. After a couple of detours--her son and her daughter--Jennifer focused all her creative energy on writing and her first book came out from Silhouette Desire in 2007.

Her family recently moved from New York to a a rural area near London, England, where we're enjoying views of sheep and trail riding in the woods. She looks forward to staring into space some more and dreaming up new stories to share with readers.
