Today is the day – RESCUE is finally here!
Here is the Goodreads summary:
Six hundred and fifty-seven days ago, Meg Kenyon’s father left their home in France to fight for the Allies in World War II, and that was the last time Meg saw him. Recently, she heard he was being held prisoner by the Nazis, a terrible sentence from which Meg fears he’ll never return. All she has left of him are the codes he placed in a jar for her to decipher, an affectionate game the two of them shared. But the codes are running low, and soon there’ll be nothing left of Papa for Meg to hold on to at all.
Suddenly, an impossible chance to save her father falls into Meg’s lap. After following a trail of blood in the snow, Meggie finds an injured British spy hiding in her grandmother’s barn. Captain Stewart tells her that a family of German refugees must be guided across Nazi-occupied France to neutral Spain, whereupon one of them has promised to free Meg’s father. Captain Stewart was meant to take that family on their journey, but too injured to complete the task himself, he offers it to Meg, along with a final code from Papa to help complete the mission — perhaps the most important, and most difficult, riddle she’s received yet.
As the Nazis flood Meg’s village in fierce pursuit, she accepts the duty and begins the trek across France. Leading strangers through treacherous territory, Meg faces danger and uncertainty at every turn, all the while struggling to crack her father’s code. The message, as she unravels it, reveals secrets costly enough to risk the mission and even her own life. Can Meg solve the puzzle, rescue the family, and save her father?

Loved the skunk! “We are nice people but cruel authors” will be my new motto! 🙂
Yes it’s finally out! Also, when is the ascendant short story going to be done?

Congrats on your new book release! I’m so excited for you. And I love these Q&A sessions. I’m learning so much from them! I am going to work on being a meaner writer next.
I don’t know if it’s in you to be mean, but if it is for the writer you, all the better!
WOOO! Happy launch day, RESCUE! So excited to read it!
And great job Mrs. Nielsen! That’s another book written! Treat yourself today!
Always willing to support,

Thanks very much!
Hi! I was one of the winners for the ARC of Rescue during the Christmas giveaway. I was wondering if you got my email with the information you need?
No, I never did get it, sorry. Email me at jen@jennielsen.com and I can get this worked out for you.
Just sent the email. Hopefully you’ve got it now 🙂
What do I do if I want a signed book but I already have it? Should I send it to you? If so, to what address?
Hi Bella, Email me about this to jen@jennielsen.com
Ah yess, the day has arrived! Congrats, Mrs. Nielsen! Your way of creating historical fiction is so interesting and amazingly detailed, and I’m soo ready for a good, heartfelt, and informative adventure!
Thanks for the awesome video today–gotta love the writing process. 😀
Thank you!
Very excited for my book to get here! :))
I was looking at your past youtube video, and I have a random question: Which model of typewriter do you have? (Yours caught my eye since I have an Underwood model six, and yours looked similar to mine, lol.)
It’s a standard typewriter #5.
Is that the same as yours?
Mine’s an Underwood 6 🙂 Yeah, the two are pretty similar, I think the main difference is that a 5 is more open on the sides while a 6 has closed sides?
Ah. Still cool.
I am so glad my question was answered! (I only watched part of the video before because I had something else to do so that’s why I am posting twice, LOL). Thank you so much, what you said about writers block is super helpful! I have always wanted to write but it either isn’t a very good story or the story starts good but near the “muddy middle” I run out of ideas. Thank you again!!!!!
It was a great question – thank you for it!
Your welcome and thank you!
Hi miss Nielsen I’m ne of the students at Banning when you got on the zoom with 5th grade. I just wanted to know if you still live in Utah because I wanted to do a report on your book “The False Prince” and I am on the part where I talk about the author. Can I also know if you wrote the book called “The Rapture”.
Yes, I’m still in Utah, and no, I did not write “The Rapture.” Thanks for doing the report on me!
This video was so helpful for me!!!!🙂 I’m still in the early stages of my novel and all your advice was sooo helpful!!!!! I especially love the puzzle analogy! Thank you so much!!!
I love the book
