Welcome and thanks for stopping by! After months of waffling I’m finally taking the plunge into the blogosphere! For the last five years I’ve been writing fiction whenever I could squeeze the time in—before the kids woke up, nap time, while I was waiting for the chicken to roast, when I should have been cleaning the house (which, sadly, gives you a pretty good idea of my housecleaning abilities). I am happy to announce that I have accepted an offer from Aladdin M!X (an imprint of Simon and Schuster) to publish my middle grade novel, Seeing Cinderella, in the spring of 2012.
This is literally a dream come true for me, and I’m so excited to share this news with you!

Congratulations on getting published. This is an enormous accomplishment and surely the beginning of many more stories you will tell. I’m so proud of you and I love you to pieces. Congrats, my wife.
Jenny, this is fantastic!!! I can’t wait to read it!
As an employee of the American Society of Appraisers I have corresponded with your husband on Twitter many times. I remember when he was researching a mac for you! Anyways he sent a Tweet about your accomplishment and I wanted to come by and say congratulations! What awesome news, I look forward to reading it!
Very cool of you, Rachael. Thank you.
We’re so proud of you and we look forward to buying a signed copy in the near future! Congratulations!!
Congratulations Jenny! This is definitely exciting and I’m proud of you. I wish it wasn’t going to be so long before your book comes out but I suppose that it will be here before we know it. I’m going to book mark you and I look forward to reading more on your blog!
Yay, Jenny!!!! Sooooo very proud of you. I know how hard you’ve worked on the book. Very excited to own my very own copy of your first book 🙂

So stoked for you! This is awesome and I am so proud of you! Hope you take this at it’s magnitude and unserstand just how talented your Maker made you! Love you tons!
Congratulations on being published! Your book sounds terrific. Goodness knows, I could have used a pair of magic glasses when I was in 7th grade. My shy, geeky 13 year old self could have used the help navigating the social aspects of middle school!
I look forward to reading your book, as well as buying copies for my grandchildren.
Thanks so much Bonnie! My geeky 13-year-old could have used the glasses too. What am I saying, could still use them :0)
This is awesome news, Jenny. I’m so excited to hear about this. Congrats!
woohoo!
Gee, Jenny, sounds like that will closely coincide with my granddaughter starting 7th grade. I see a book for a gift in her future.
Soooo, proud of you Jen! Can’t wait to get my copy of the book next spring so that you can autograph it!
Yeah Jenny!!!! Way to go chica!!!! 🙂
I am so stinkin excited for you and I am so proud!! I really can’t wait to read this book-it’s making me crazy! 🙂
Sarah-I know! Publishing takes so long! But I couldn’t have done it without all of your encouragement–all my Journey Girls are such a blessing to me!
Hi Jenny – I follow your husband’s blog and saw Bill Cobb’s post on FB about your new adventure. Congratulations! I have 5 kids and would love to read some of your work!
Thanks Alison.
Thanks so much for all your support everyone, it really means so much!
Congratulations, Jenny. We have never met, but your husband and I are co-respondents in a mutual admiration society. I saw his post about your accomplishment on FB and just had to go to your blog to respond. Good for you!!!
Bill, thanks so much. You are too cool. I appreciate you.
This is fabulous Jenny! I’m so glad one of your dreams is being fullfilled. I’m looking forward to reading and telling friends about Seeing Cinderella. I definatly want an autographed copy to be enjoyed by E & A in the future! 🙂
Jennny, Your site is perfect except for one thing! I think your byline should read “super-amazing-awesome writer of books for supercool young people”
Jenny, I am so proud and excited for you. I can’t wait to read your book and like Ann said have you autograph it! You are awesome and an inspiration.
Thanks, Carrie. I really don’t know what I would do without my journey girls!

Congratulations. You are an inspiration. We have a couple of published young adult writers who attend Writers Who Wine. You might enjoy talking to them about their journey.

Thanks so much. I’ll have to check out Writers Who Wine sometime soon.
Wow, Jenny! Seeing Cinderella being published is sooooooo awesome. Way to go with your husband uber PR guy. Miss reading your fun stuff, but being available in bookstores…priceless!
