ABOUT JENNIFER

I’ve always loved a complicated love story.

The messy ones. The ones with history and secrets and terrible timing. The ones where two people probably should stay away from each other, but we all know they aren’t going to.

Those are the stories I love to read, and they’re the stories I love to write.

I’m Jennifer Kittredge, author of contemporary romance with suspense, plenty of chemistry, complicated relationships, fiercely loyal friendships, and characters who occasionally make spectacularly questionable decisions.

And after spending several years away from publishing, I’m writing again.

It feels really, really good to say that.

A LITTLE BACKSTORY

Writing isn’t something I recently discovered.

Years ago, I jumped headfirst into the indie publishing world and wrote seven novels across three series: The Dare to Dream Series, The Seduction Series and The Broken Hearts Series.

I loved it. I loved creating the characters, building their worlds, and especially hearing from readers who became invested in these fictional people I’d somehow convinced them were real.

And then life changed.

I stepped away from publishing. I followed other passions, built other things, raised kids, became a grandmother, changed and grew about a thousand times over and for a while, I honestly wasn’t sure whether writing books would ever be part of my life again.

Turns out, some things don’t leave you that easily.

The stories started coming back.

So did the characters.

And eventually I stopped trying to figure out whether I should write again and just started writing.

And there I was.

Home.

THE STORIES I WRITE

I’m a romance girl at heart, so love will always be at the center of my books.

But I apparently don’t like to make things particularly easy for my characters. 😂

There are secrets. Suspense. Old wounds. Family drama. Friendship. Danger. Attraction at incredibly inconvenient times. People who love fiercely and screw up spectacularly.

And underneath all of it, there’s always the question I find most interesting:

What are we willing to risk for the people we love?

My newest series, The Broken Hearts Series, brought me back into this world with Broken Promises, followed by Broken Rules, and there are more stories (and more trouble) coming.

WHEN I’M NOT WRITING...

I live in Florida with my husband and am Mom to three grown kids who, despite all these years, still probably wish I’d chosen a pen name.

Sorry, kids. 😂

I’m also Lovey to one ridiculously loved little grandbaby who has all of us completely wrapped around his finger.

I love books, beautiful spaces, traveling, long conversations, a good glass of wine, and disappearing into a story for hours when I should probably be doing something else.

I also have a tendency to become slightly obsessed with my characters while I’m writing them. They come to dinner with me. They interrupt my sleep. They show up in the shower with plot solutions.

Apparently boundaries aren’t really their thing.

AND NOW...

This chapter of writing feels different.

I’m different.

I’m not trying to recreate the writer I was years ago. I’m interested in seeing what the woman I am now has to say.

And right now, she has a lot of stories to tell.

So whether you’ve been reading my books since the beginning or you just found me through the Broken Hearts series, I’m really glad you’re here.

Welcome back to the messy parts of love.
