The response was overwhelming and so was the amount of copies that were snapped up with just those two elements alone — cover and back matter . Women loved it . They were shocked that it was so … in your face . The most asked question ? Is she a dude ?
No , she ’ s all woman , a young married woman with children who has written a book that speaks to the heart of women learning what it takes to please themselves and then someone else . Now that right there is Master Card priceless . When someone writes a novel that grabs my attention and has me reading it in one sitting , that ’ s an author worth following . And I did , through the multiple genres that she writes in . L . A . Banks was the first author I knew of who wrote across different genres and had an adoring but different fan base in each one . S . L . Jennings pens contemporary fiction , erotica , paranormal and science fiction . This left me wondering , how the heck did she slip past my radar ? Well , I can speculate all day long on how someone who has hit the New York Times bestseller ’ s list escaped my notice , but my time is probably better spent being grateful that RT Book Lovers Convention showcased her talent for those of us who weren ’ t “ in the know ”.
Some authors like to put a thick line between themselves and their readers , but not S . L . Jennings . Since then , I ’ ve followed her posts on FaceBook when she , as a mother , endured a heart-wrenching experience when her son was treated unfairly . Her outrage mirrored that of my own and those of women who are left scratching their heads at the racial unrest in which the United States is mired . S . L . did not pull any punches in recounting the details while being open and vulnerable about the pain it caused . I admired her all the more .
S . L . Jennings , is a proud military wife to her high school sweetheart , a mom of three rowdy boys , and a New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author of contemporary and paranormal romance . When she ’ s not obsessing over book boyfriends , you can find her hanging out with a few epic fictional loves at independent bookstores , or sipping a Bloody Mary at her favorite brunch haunt in Spokane , Washington . She ’ s a self-proclaimed food snob , makeup junkie and lover of all things shiny , sparkly and kitschy .
