Book reviewer, writing coach, and author.
My latest writing adventure has been the participation in an anthology of contemporary romance short stories, "Love at Large". (I contributed "Dirty Laundry", which might look familiar if you've visited my page about critiquing fiction. Go there for an excerpt of the tale.) The anthology was an exciting project and very hands-on for all of us as we each took turns editing the others' work. We also came together and wrote a single story as a group effort. Overall it was a great experience and I look forward to participating in more of them at the BBW Romance Writers group.
Recently I coached some wonderful authors through a book which has hit the stands and is now in book-on-tape-format. Check out "A Corpse in the Soup". Currently, I am busy with two books of my own "French Kissed", which is a chick lit story aimed at the teen scene, and "Highland Fling", a sweet paranormal romantic comedy. Five roses from a Romance Review! "Dirty Laundry" by Jennifer Harrington-Too many people had treated Lauren Giles badly in her thirty years, including her ex-husband. When a ‘stepped-right-off-of-a-romance-cover-god’ walked into the laundry room of her apartment building Lauren was inspired to throw caution to the wind and take a chance on Dr. James Brandt. Ms. Harrington brings a delectable apéritif to the scrumptious feast [of the "Love at Large" anthology]. A heroine we can all relate to and a hero we all dream about are the sweet indulgences every reader of romance orders." Road to Romance says:
"DIRTY LAUNDRY" by Jennifer Harrington
was my favorite story of the group. Lauren Giles is in the apartment
building’s laundry room when she overhears her catty female neighbors
discussing her recent divorce, and the latest tenant in the building. And
when he shows up, she realizes the biddies weren’t exaggerating his
attractiveness. After he finishes his laundry, she sees that he left his
book in the area. Several of the women have granddaughters and daughters
they hope to hook up with the new guy. To her complete surprise, Jamie
Brandt is much more interested in Lauren.
