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.
Either way, I haven't written like this. Ever.
This feels ... special.

Since I can't cheer the @seattlekraken.com in the #StanleyCup playoffs, I will be rooting for @winnipegjets.com (for Brandon Tanev) the @tblightningnhl.bsky.social (for Yanni Gourde) and the @montrealcanadiens.bsky.social (for Sylvain Reynard)
