Hello Friends!
It is I, your mostly missing author on this blog, vowing to get back to more regular postings…eventually! (I’m working on it, honestly!)
In the meantime, I want to invite you all to be part of the release of my newest novel, ICEBERG, coming out on March 7.
If you are a Utah-type, you can join me in person for the launch party at the Barnes & Noble in Orem on SATURDAY, MARCH 11 at 2:00. We’ll have games, prizes, and naturally, books!
If your current zip code doesn’t allow you to come, consider joining me online on FRIDAY, MARCH 10 at 7:00 Mountain Time (6;00 Pacific Time; 9:00 Eastern Time). We’ll have most of the same sort of fun – just probably not the food. Honestly, that would be tough to pull off.
For the online party, pre-registration is required, but it’s free. When you register HERE, you’ll receive a link and other instructions to join in on the fun!
I hope to see you in-person or online. If you can’t attend either one, but you still want a signed book, as always you can order from The King’s English Bookshop, my local Indie. If you want the book personalized, be sure to note that before checking out. The link for that order is HERE.

I can’t wait! Thank you!
I’m so excited!
I’m so excited!
Excited for this one, Ms. Jen! And congrats on this new book of yours. It’s nice to see the progress and achievements you’ve done over the past years.
I will definitely be at the virtual launch party! Super excited! (I missed the one for Shattered Castle and was so upset…)
I will be there at 7:00 sharp.
So excited for Iceberg!
The library doesn’t have it in yet, and it’s already April too. I missed the boat! 🙁 Oh well. So far I’ve read The Scourge, and Lines of Courage (which I think may be my new favorite book, and I’m wishing/hoping/praying will become a movie! A family-friendly, not-too-violent kid-appropriate movie, since they’re the ones reading the book. Well and me… kids at heart that is.) 🙂
p.s. because there’s just so much to learn, to feel good about… I could see it being a modern feel-good-in-the-end movie like the classic Old Yeller.
I was enjoying the book until the end of page 218. Suddenly, the next page was printed as page 91 and the story picks up in the middle of a sentence. This misprinted page 91 to 122, carries on the original pages of 91-122; it’s a double, but inserted at what should be page 219. Pages 219-250 are missing and pages 91-122 are reprinted. These pages are six pages into chapter 14 through three pages into chapter 18. Six pages into chapter 30, this misprint begins and ends six pages into chapter 34. Therefore, the book is missing thirty-two pages and an additional thirty-two pages were added.
The story drops off when there are cold winds going over warmer waters and a haze begins to form, making refractions that hide icebergs. Then the double pages of 91-122, after which the story picks up with Hazel and Sylvia are listening to Marconi messages. The reader misses out on the story in between and I would like to know what happened in the missing pages.
I’m so sorry to hear that! Misprints sometimes do happen. Are you able to return or exchange the book?
So I saw the interview on BYU tv this morning in Santa Fe New Mexico. I’ve never heard of this author but loved her interview and her heartfelt kindness to youth. I’m ordering iceberg asap!
