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 Fine Line Series, is a duology of YA contemporary romance novels. PRETEND, book one, focuses on the fine line between pretending and lying. It follows a girl who is running from a traumatic situation, forcing her to pretend, in order to protect everyone, including her heart, when the past suddenly threatens to ruin her future. MISDIRECT, book two, focuses on the fine line between dreams and reality. It follows a boy who achieved his dream, only for it to be gone in an instant, and the harsh new reality he must face to reclaim a second chance at life and love. Both are currently available in paperback and e-book formats.
My children’s books, The Adventures Above Series, follow the adventures of a little prehistoric girl and her dinosaur best friend through lush forests, sparkling seas and the warm breeze. There are three stories in the series, SHE WHO WALKS ABOVE THE TREES, SHE WHO SWIMS ABOVE THE SEAS, and SHE WHO FLOATS ABOVE THE BREEZE. All three books are currently available in paperback format.
All my books are available online at all major book seller websites; and on the shelves at local WNY & ROCHESTER Barnes & Noble Stores as well as many local indie bookstores. Check out my BOOKS tab above to find more information about my published books, their awards and reviews!
As a retired special education teacher, I have taken my love of books and carried it into the next chapter of my life as an author. I absolutely love storytelling in any format; books, TV shows & movies, which continue to inspire me to write. Interesting note about me is that I'm a huge alternative music and EDM buff!! (We're talking Mansionair, Aquilo, The Temper Trap, Oasis, Tame Impala, Rufus Du Sol, Sombr, Imagine Dragons etc). I may be a late in life author but I'm young at heart. I enjoy a good love story full of angst, anticipation and of course, 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 grandma :)
