Hello Bluesky! I’m Jennifer (Jenn, Cran).
I’m a contemporary romance writer from the Oregon Coast, married to my high school sweetheart, cat herder, mom of two, bookish fangirl, lifelong a-ha fan, and professional non-profit fundraiser. 👋🏻

Officially, I've written just under 10,000 words in 10 days.
Unofficially, my best guess is around 25,000-30,000 words.

This feels ... special.

What book left you aching to stay in its world?
For me, it was The Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson. This book was magnificent. Political intrigue, murder, trials, & one very stubborn scholar I couldn’t help but love.
