Hello! Welcome to my author website.
I am thrilled that you are here! My name is Jennifer Conklin and I am an award-winning, published author of children's books and YA novels.
My debut novel, Pretend, is a YA contemporary romance. It's about a girl running from her past only to find her future, available in both paperback and kindle versions.
I also developed a children’s book series called The Adventures Above Series, which is about a little girl and her dinosaur best friend. There are three stories currently, with the possibility of more. Book 1: She Who Walks Above The Trees, Book 2: She Who Swims Above The Seas, and Book 3: She Who Floats Above The Breeze.
All my books are available online at all major book seller websites; local WNY Barnes & Noble Stores as well as many local WNY indie bookstores. Check out my Books Tab to find more information about my books, their awards and reviews!
As a former special education teacher, I have taken my love of books and carried it into my next chapter of life as a full time Author. I absolutely love stories in any format; books, TV shows & movies, which continue to inspire me to write. I'm also a huge alternative music buff!! (We're talking Mansionair, AJR, Fitz & the Tantrums, Arctic Monkeys, Oasis, Imagine Dragons etc.). I am young at heart and enjoy a good love story full of angst, anticipation and drama!
I live in New York with my husband, our younger son (recent college grad) and two sweet dogs. Our older son, his wife and their baby daughter live nearby which makes me a very happy mom and now grandma :)
Thank you for coming to my author website, and I hope you consider taking "your next happy book detour" from life with one of my books!
