USA Today bestselling author Jennifer L. Hart

Dakota Whitmore is not the world's best traveler. And Drue, her snarky assistant, won't let her forget it! Is it true they only tease you when they like you? Drue continued to ask for the annoyance factor, but Dakota really did look terrible post-flight, kinda like a cross between someone waiting for a heart transplant and a crash-test dummy on the wrong side of an accident. “Maybe you should have skipped the last four rum and sodas and saved your liver the aggravation.” “It wasn’t that much! I’m a nervous flier and a dram or two helps to sooth my tension.” “I could tell by the white-knuckled grip-of-death you had on the armrest. Real Zen-like.” Click on the above link to buy a print copy of Redeeming Characters from Amazon for $6.64! (Kindle version also available.)

From my WIP, new mystery series Country Fried City Girl. My heroine, Andy, has a full plate dealing with her aging and extremely stubborn grandfather. “Stop talking like that. You’re an educated man, for cripes sakes. And yes, you are going to church because I want to make sure God doesn’t put you on his shit list. Good Christians go to church after they find dead bodies in their houses.” Pops sent me a skeptical look and muttered, “Pretty sure that ain’t in the Bible.” “Well since you were there when it was written, you would know.”

Clue: Passion i n Print writer Jennifer L. Hart believes in torturing her characters in the fires of hell before they are allowed a happily ever after. In her latest release, Drue redeemed himself by working as an assistant to Dakota Whitmore, the woman he believes to be a thief. What does Drue think she stole from him? Blurb: Animals may bite, but people always suck, is Drue’s motto; his only goal to disappear into the wild with nary a nitwit to be seen. Yet, when he discovers an old friend has published the book he helped create , a new plan surfaces. Revenge. Author Dakota Whitmore is in a slump. Maybe what she needs is a little help, a beta reader who will tell her that her work hasn't turned into a steaming cow pie. How about Drue, the man who helped her pen her first—and only, bestseller? Nothing could possibly go wrong. Right? One random commenter will receive a free PDF of Redeeming Characters . Please be sure to leave your email address in the comments. Thanks fo...

"Redeeming Characters by Jennifer L. Hart is a book I simply could not put down. I finished it in a matter of two days! The premise of the book was unconventional and unique but as the story progressed everything made sense. Normally, I would quibble over the length of a book however I felt that every page was necessary. I finished the story well satisfied. The mutual friendship and love between the two characters was incredibly realistic. I loved the building of trust considering that both characters carried severe baggage caused by painful betrayals. What made this such a lovely story was that these characters needed each other – it wasn’t just about what they both wanted. Dakota had been searching for her soulmate for such a long time and Drue was looking for a family and a place to belong. Together these two complete each other’s dreams. If you love realistic characters with snarky attitudes and beautifully detailed scenery then this story is for you. Kudos to Ms...

Happy Valentine's Day! Hope you all get to spend some quality time with the ones you love today! Speaking of which...Happy reading! Camaro incident aside, I enjoyed a very typical childhood. My father managed a small hardware store outside of Richmond, which did a brisk business in the days before Home Depot. My mother worked as lunch lady at our school, which gave her summers off and allowed her the freedom to see my brother Marty and I on and of the bus every day. Marty and I were constantly at war, the way in which only truly devoted siblings can be. I saran-wrapped the toilet seats in the boys locker room and pinned the blame on him. He set loose a flock of monarch butterflies, which my fourth grade class had been studying, and pointed the finger at me. I was punished for both offenses because no one believed a lowly second grader could pull off either stunt without being caught. Of course, if anyone else ever messed with my bratty little broth...

Wahoo! I'm hip, I'm with it....ducka ducka ducka... Props to any who recognize the quote. ;-) Kay, so now I have to tell you seven things about me. 1. I'm a total introvert offline. Talking to strangers makes me sick to my stomach. 2. I named my beagle after my Laundry Hag heroine. 3. I was awarded most dramatic in highschool even though I was never in a play. 4. My favorite show of all time is Firefly. 5. My music taste is eclectic, I listen to country, metal, classical and blues. But I'm also picky, unlike my audiofile husband. 6. I've moved ten times in my life, five since I got married in 2001. 7. I once caravaned across the US with my husband and 18 month old son from California to Florida and then up the coast to New York in less than a week. Thanks to Laurie Green and Spacefreighters Lounge for the award! Now, to pay it forward!
