Jennifer D. Bokal penned her first book at age eight. An early lover of the written word, she decided to follow her passion and become a full-time writer. From then on, she didn’t look back. She earned a master of arts degree in creative writing from Wilkes University and became a member of the Romance Writers of America. She authored several short stories, poems, and feature articles, and in 2007 she published her first novel, Celtic Heart. Starting in 2026, she is the President of the Romance Writers of America. Happily married to her own alpha male for twenty years, she enjoys writing stories that explore the wonders of love. Jen and her manly husband live in upstate New York with their three beautiful daughters, two aloof cats, and two very spoiled dogs.
