After trying unsuccessfully to write a book for more than 20 years, last summer she finally wrote her first novel, a cozy mystery titled A Shell of a Problem. It was published November 2017 and became an instant bestseller. The second book in the Sanibel Island Mystery series, Something Fishy, was just released. Jennifer is busy working on her third book, In the Market for Murder, though she still finds time to hunt for seashells, read cozy mysteries, watch Mets games, and take care of her two very needy cats.
