Morgan, Jennifer J.: - Jennifer J. Morgan grew up in the desert Southwest where she always dreamed of becoming an author. Raised in New Mexico, and currently living in Arizona, she is a desert dweller through and through. Similar to her protagonist, Libby Madsen, she loves traveling and adventure.When she was younger, she was a huge fan of mystery/suspense novels-favorites being Dean Koontz, James Patterson, and Sue Grafton. Cozy mystery is more of a favorite today-enjoying the fun and adventurous spirit of authors such as Connie Shelton, Tonya Kappes, and CJ Love.When she's not writing, Jennifer enjoys camping, hiking, and traveling with her husband and two dogs. She is also an arts and crafts nut, always taking on a new project that sparks her creativity. Fun fact: Most of her characters in the Libby Madsen Cozy Mystery are named after beloved pets that have blessed her life over fifty+ years. She is a HUGE animal lover (dogs, cats, birds...). Given the chance, she'd rescue them all (including a few goats, chickens, ducks, you name it...). Or, as she likes to say, her animals have always rescued her.
