“When I woke the sun had lowered in the sky, and I wasn’t quite sure where I was. The water surged into the cove to the lake, spreading out like the thinnest of mirrors as it receded; a spectrum of reds, oranges, and pinks reflected from the sky. I sat up, lifted my hand, sea foam flying from my fingers as I painted the air. The sunset colors wove together, intensified, wrapped around me like a thousand Arabian veils. I told myself I would be okay, that these were the spirits of ocean and air that had always protected me.”
        —from Broken Moon, Chapter 1
Broken Moon, Jennifer’s not-yet-published novel, is both a comedy of manners and a journey through a late 20th-century western landscape, filled with New Age enticements, self-appointed saviors, and spiritual stirrings. Jennifer is currently seeking representation for Broken Moon.
