Conjuring magick, One story at a time
Jen was born in Iowa and has called Southwest Missouri home for “the important part of her entire life.”
She always loved hearing and reading stories growing up. Her love of stories slowly morphed into a desire to spin her stories.
Jen has been a maid, waitress, cook, horseback riding trail guide, insurance adjuster, fire and theft investigator, customer service technician, and reference librarian, among other things. Her favorite jobs were trail guide and librarian.
She currently lives on a family farm with her son and a bunch of pets. When she’s not writing, she is growing food, making jewelry and exploring her new career as a real estate agent.
News about Jen's other Written Works:

"Cosmic Justice" a short story appears in the Sleuth's Ink Anthology " A Pathway to Mystery and More" (see on Amazon here)
About the Farm:
This farm used to be a dairy farm. When we got here in 2015 the fences were in disrepair. There is always something that needs fixing and the desire to enhance, improve and recondition parts of it are ever present. The soil is very rich in places due to the past decades of "bovine fertilizer application".
We keep a few beef cattle and chickens . In the past we have raised rabbits, geese, ducks, horses, goats, guineas, peafowl and turkeys. We have added about a dozen fruit & nut trees and plan to add more.
The annual vegetable garden starts as a labor of love and results in hand to hand combat with squash bugs, a surly groundhog and mutant weeds that grow 10x faster than any veggie I put out there.
About Microgreens:
I grow them because I love them. They are happy little plants and since I grow them indoors, in a climate controlled environment, year around I get to enjoy their company on a daily basis. Also, here are some other good reasons I grow them:
Microgreens are young vegetable greens that are harvested just after the first leaves have developed. These miniature plants are packed with nutrients, making them a popular choice for health-conscious individuals.
They are known to have a higher concentration of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants compared to their fully grown counterparts.
In addition to their nutritional value, microgreens also offer a burst of flavor, adding a fresh and vibrant element to salads, sandwiches, and other dishes. They are incredibly versatile and can be grown from a wide variety of vegetables.
They TASTE GOOD.
