Jennifer Marchman lives in Austin, Texas, with her high school sweetheart 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 .

When Jennifer’s not writing, she serves as a postpartum doula for GALS Austin, a local non-profit that cares for women during pregnancy and immediately after birth, and is the co-founder of SpeakTexan, a conversational tutoring service for adult English learners. Her students have inspired her to continue improving her own Spanish and French skills, minimal as they are. Purely for the sake of her soul, she practices flamenco dancing and would love to travel more someday.

And yes, she really does know how to shoot a bow and arrow from a horse.

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.
