Jennifer Marchman lives in Austin, Texas, with her husband and the best dog in the world, and she is the mother of three grown and flown kids who continuously amaze her.

At different times, she has worn various authorial hats, including ghostwriter-memoirist, editor, curriculum writer, educational blogger, grant writer, (recovering) addicted social media over-sharer, and co-founder of Austin Indie Authors (post-COVID iteration), but now, after many years, she’s writing for pleasure .

She enjoys flamenco dancing, is the proud owner of a white belt in jiu-jitsu, and wishes to compete internationally in mounted archery but lacks a ticket to Kazakhstan. She has toyed with the idea of picking up pottery again, but needs more hours in her day and a husband willing to install (for the fourth time) the necessary electrical outlet for a kiln that may likely go unused.

When Jennifer’s not writing, she serves as a postpartum doula for GALS.

Jennifer’s debut novel, The Mender, was the 2023 Gold Category Winner, Time Travel/Dual Timeline, for the Historical Fiction Company and a 2022 finalist in the Writers’ League of Texas Manuscript Contest.
