Our Nerdiest Thing

Hello, fellow nerds! We're excited to share our interview with Jennifer Williams, author of Worth the Risk, Forever Sunshine, and more!

Jennifer was born and raised in Ohio, but currently calls Colorado home. A lifelong lover of romance books, Jen felt pulled to write stories with older characters, because "old farts" deserve love too. Jen prides herself on delivering realistic characters that struggle with normal problems. She spends most of her free time within her zoo: two kids, two dogs, and two cats…all of which are male! When not containing the chaos, Jen can be found lounging on her covered porch devouring books on her Kindle.

Listen in as we chat more about Jennifer’s books, why old farts deserve love too, and her other upcoming projects. Be sure to follow her @authorjenniferjwilliams
