I’m the girl who: 1. Dropped food on the floor last night and ate it anyway 2. Sees those popular toddler tulle tutus and thinks, “If only I were 10 years younger…” 3. Got a subscription to Newsweek and wished the cover said People 4. Had to Google “Dougie” 5. Returned to the gym at […]
READ MOREStill writing like a fiend and not back to regular blogging for the week, but I wanted to share my new cover of There You’ll Find Me, my fall YA. A reader found it for me out there, so since it’s gone all Amazony, I’m sharing it with you. I know there’s a lot of […]
READ MOREA week ago I spoke at a girls’ event. I did a session for middle school girls, my first time to talk to that age. I had no idea what to expect. Here’s a little blip of rough video of our intro. A little light material before we got into the serious stuff. If you’re […]
READ MOREIn lieu of a post today, jump over to Southern Belle View today and see this week’s story wrapup of Whirlaway Island. I got to write this installment’s finale, and while the team wouldn’t let me incorporate vamps and mermen, I did manage to work in a wedding, guns, and kissing. (Sounds like a date […]
READ MOREHappy mid-week! Random message: To the girl who was at the conference this past weekend and asked for a copy of the letter from God I read, please email me (jen at jennybjones dot com) and I will get that to you. The picture above is from the Beautiful Girls conference I went to this […]

READ MOREI’m going to be a total follower this week (though a late one) and pose the question that lit the blogosphere over Valentine’s: Who is your book crush? Joy from Edgy Inspirational Romance picked my Alex Sinclair from Save the Date. Joy just earned my Favorite Person of the World At Least on This Wednesday […]
READ MOREHappy Monday! I haven’t been to school since Tuesday, so this day is going to be brutal. I’m going to have to introduce myself to my students again. And I had just learned their names…. That’s all out the window. To simplify, I might just assign them numbers. Seems more time-efficient. Or call them all […]
READ MOREAs a Valentine’s Day gift to our readers, we’re creating a story over at Southern Belle View. In lieu of today’s blog, join us Belles as I wrap up this week’s saga. None of us planned the story in advance. Lisa Wingate started the tale, then the rest of us just built on whatever was […]
READ MORESo we were supposed to get about three inches of snow over night. The town twenty minutes down the road has 25 inches as of 9:30 a.m. Much of our snow from last week hadn’t melted, and if I went out on my back deck right now, it would be to my knees. If I […]
READ MOREI love reader emails. I don’t always have time to respond to every one of them, but I do read each one. Often they ask similar things such as: 1. Will there be a fourth Charmed Life book? 2. Will there be a fourth Katie Parker book? 3. How do I get published? 4. Would […]

READ MOREIt’s book release day for Save the Date. It’s also a day when I’m looking out my window from the comfort of my home and seeing snow falling like crazy, knowing I won’t be in school for days, smiling at the sight of my neighbor kids weathering the harsh winds and biting flakes, and just […]
READ MOREOne more day until Save the Date officially releases! Congrats to Leah, winner of Save the Date. Leah, email me and send me your snail mail addy please. Oh, Old Man Winter is really jerking my chain. (What does that phrase mean exactly?) For days we heard about this winter system coming in. Last Thursday, […]
READ MOREToday a list of things to discuss. 1. Don’t forget I’m giving away a copy of Save the Date, which officially releases next week. 2. Rel of Relz Reviewz, one of my favorite people, is also giving away a copy HERE. 3. My oh-so-talented former student Sydney has a blog, which I love, and wants […]
READ MOREBefore we jump in, I’m giving away a copy of Save the Date. Read on to discover how you can score the win. The lovely and talented Kimberley and Kayla Woodhouse had me stop by for a blog visit where I paid them to say nice things about me, and you can find that HERE. […]
READ MOREI love a good love story, don’t you? I’m about to do something kinda crazy and not really relevant to this blog, so bear with me. A good friend of mine sent me an email recently and introduced me to a blog, Kelly’s Korner, where a woman was inviting people to post links of single […]
READ MOREOld Man Winter was very good to Arkansas Thursday. Some parts got up to six inches. My yard only saw three, but it was enough. I don’t know if you know this (insert wink), but I adore a good snow day. Is that putting it mildly? Okay, snow to me is like street drugs to […]
READ MOREIt started out so simple. I was asked by my publisher to create a fifteen second blurb for Save the Date. Give a short hook and tell them to select a link for ordering. No problem. . .for most people.
READ MOREI’m on the countdown til the release of Save the Date. A few reviews are starting to trickle in, and I’m so excited to see this book on the shelves. I thought I’d tell you a little bit about Lucy and Alex. Lucy is one unintentionally stylish gal. She runs a group home for girls […]
