Jennifer Marchman lives in Austin, Texas, with her husband, three nearly-grown children, and the two best dogs in the world. At different times, she has worn various authorial hats, including ghostwriter-memoirist, editor, curriculum writer, educational blogger, grant writer, and (recovering) addicted social media over-sharer, but now, after many years, she’s writing for pleasure and helping organize Austin Indie Authors.

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.

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.
