This fortnight we welcomed Jennifer Safrey to the show. Jennifer is a romance author based in Massachusetts. Before her life as an author, Jennifer was a copy editor at the Boston Herald. While she reflects positively on the experience, she needed a way to decompress from hearing about many real-life, tragic stories, and turned to reading. After her work day had ended, she would often be found reading romance fiction until the early hours of the morning. Eventually, Jennifer began writing romance, hoping to provide readers with a blissful escape and a happy ending. Jennifer’s books feature smart, savvy, accomplished heroines, and heroes you love to love.
