Jennifer Sienes holds a bachelor’s in psychology and a master’s in education but discovered life-experience is the best teacher. She loves Jesus, romance, and writing—and puts it altogether in inspirational women’s fiction. Two of the three novels in her Apple Hill Series (set in Northern California) were inspired by actual events. She took first place in the ACFW Genesis Contest for her novel, Illusions, Book 2 in the Apple Hill Series. Her Bedford County Series is set in Tennessee where she now resides with her real-life hero (and husband).
