Former newspaper reporter Jennifer K. Morita writes stories for Sacramento State by day and plots murder mysteries by night.

Her debut mystery, GHOSTS OF WAIKĪKĪ, has been nominated for a Left Coast Crime Lefty Award for Best Debut Mystery and an Agatha Award for Best First Novel. It’s about an out-of-work journalist who reluctantly becomes the ghost writer for a controversial developer. When she stumbles into murder - and her ex - she discovers coming home to paradise can be murder.

Jennifer was a runner up for the Sisters in Crime Eleanor Taylor Bland Award in 2022.

She is a member of SinC, Crime Writers of Color, Mystery Writers of America and International Thriller Writers. Jennifer is also active with her local SinC chapter, Capitol Crimes, where she served as vice president and president.

When she isn’t chauffeuring her daughters around town or pushing Girl Scout cookies, she enjoys reading, experimenting with recipes, leisurely hikes, Zumba and Hot Hula.
