Never coffee. Always tea. Never beer. Always
champagne. There’s more, but hey, gotta save some secrets until
after the first date, right?

I grew up in Miami. Went to nursing school
in Georgia, where I now reside. I raised and home schooled three
great kids. I wrote for nine years before I sold a book, which made
me a firm believer that a person should NEVER NEVER NEVER GIVE UP
ON THEIR DREAMS.

I remember my father’s remark after a
particularly scandalous story about one of my ancestors, a story
that involves a conspiracy, treason, betrayal, murder, and
execution, a story that after a drink or two in the bar, I might be
enticed to share. Anyway, what my father said was, “You can’t keep
a good man down.” And I kind of see that in myself. Not that I am
necessarily good, because the definitions of moral words are often
relative, but I do persevere, and I am resilient. Nothing in life
has ever worked out the way I planned for it too. In many areas of
my life, I have yet to reach the level I thought I would, of where
I envisioned I would be, but I haven’t given up. I won’t give up. I
continue to work hard and do everything I can to help who I can and
to make my dreams come true.

Besides great kids, family, and friends,
that perseverance has so far garnered me a USA Today Bestselling
tag and twelve plus books on the shelf in a number of genres
(contemporary romantic suspense, historical suspense, paranormal
suspense, and contemporary romance). I’ve won a number of writing
awards, two National Choice Awards, three Maggie Awards, a RT Book
Club Reviewer’s Choice Award, the Daphne du Maurier Award, the
Marlene Award, and the Golden Heart Award to name most of them. I
work with several amazing women in a charity to raise money for a
shelter that helps abused and homeless women and children. I’ve
revived my nursing career after a long hiatus, have renewed my
license, and will find the right job for me.

I know there are many more great things
ahead.

I write romance because I believe that when
you boil all of life down to its essence, if you take a human being
to the very core of his existence, then you will find that what
matters more than anything else is to be loved and to give
love.

Life is all about choices and to pull from
one of Erich Fromm’s quote, I choose to create and to love rather
than destroy and to hate.

I hope you enjoy my stories.

Go forth, dream, believe, create, inspire,
and love,

Jenni (J.L. Saint, Jennifer St. Giles,
