Stuff By Jenn...
While at Arteles, I completed the first draft of my second
YA Mystery Thriller novel, developed the storyline and
character sketches for an upcoming graphic children’s novel
set in Finland, and put together a photo collage of various
wood, lights, faces and shadows that I observed around the
property.
I really enjoyed meeting and getting to know other creatives
from around the world, and picking mushrooms and berries
in the forest, visiting the Free Store & Frantsila, and sampling
hot blueberry juice and Glögi.
Kiitos for the opportunity, Arteles, and I hope you continue
inviting creative residents to your center for many years to
come.
Based in Michigan, Welcome To Nightjar is filled with murder,
mayhem and mystery in a small town.
Besides writing, Jennifer sells greeting cards and other
printables on her digital art shop.
