Born and raised on a North Dakota farm, Jannifer started writing at the age of twelve, creating novels by memory while walking home from a one-room schoolhouse. After moving to Minnesota she began serious writing in 1974 while working full time. She has since retired and spends summers in Minnesota and migrates with the birds to Yuma, Arizona for the winter.
When she’s not writing, she’s sewing for craft shows, painting rocks, and pursuing her favorite pastime—traveling the world on a cruise ship. And, last but not least, spending valuable time with her incredibly awesome family.
She is currently working on her sixth novel, Blood Crystal.
