Confessions of an Improper Bride is releasing in a little under two months. It’s the start of a brand-new series for me, which is significant, I realized, because I’ve just started a new phase of my life. It’s been a year since I was diagnosed with breast cancer, and being given that diagnosis is definitely a life-changing experience. They say things will never be the same for a person after being told she has cancer, but that people eventually find a “new normal.” The year has been traumatic and busy (between treatments, 3 active children, and book deadlines)…and definitely “abnormal.” But now that it’s all over (except for the constant check-ups), I feel like things are finally settling down. Things aren’t exactly the same as they were before, but they’re pretty good, in a new way. 2011 has definitely started in a much more positive way than 2010 did, and I’m starting to understand what everyone means by a “new normal.”
So between my eldest son starting Jr. High next year (and he’s almost as tall as me–how did that happen!?), my new series, and my “new normal,” I feel like I’m embarking on a new beginning and a new journey. One that I definitely hope my friends, family, and readers will join me on. 🙂
Check out my new contest! For the month of June, I’m giving away a copy of my first trilogy: A Hint of Wicked, A Touch of Scandal, and A Season of Seduction!

Jennifer,
Thank you for sharing your journey with us! I’ve been inspired by your courage since the first time we met at RWASD last year. You were going through a frightening, life-changing experience, but you didn’t let it stop you. You taught a wonderful, informative workshop with a smile on your face and ready laughter. Seeing your example gives me hope I could persevere if I ever faced such a tremendous obstacle.
And then you started a new series! Really, you were already super-woman, but this pretty much cements your reputation as a super-hero in my book. When I feel overwhelmed by laundry and life, I’m going to think WWJD? What would Jennifer do? 😉
Thank you for another fabulous release!! You continue to inspire us!
