Growing up, our parents instilled in all of us from a young age the significance of family and the importance of loyalty, trust, and becoming individuals who stand by their values and are true to their word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I never stopped reading once I learned how. Always stuck with my nose in a book, fascinated by stories and places I\u2019d never been or seen, amazed by an author\u2019s ability to intrigue me so much that I couldn\u2019t put the book down until I was finished. I\u2019m still in awe of them today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I started my writing journey a few years ago, wanting to try my hand at creating something that would transport a reader to another place, to give them a break from everyday life. I\u2019ve absolutely loved every minute of it. When I began my first book, I was immediately drawn to the idea of including a big family and creating a series because those were, and still are, my favorite stories to read. I\u2019m also a reader who always wants to know the secondary characters\u2019 story, so I\u2019m creating a series where I can tell all of their stories in due time.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"232\" src=\"https:\/\/jenniferhanks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/pic-for-website-300x232.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1577\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jenniferhanks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/pic-for-website-300x232.png 300w, https:\/\/jenniferhanks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/pic-for-website-518x400.png 518w, https:\/\/jenniferhanks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/pic-for-website.png 528w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>I still live in Pennsylvania, now with my two children who own my heart along with various pets who provide us with unlimited entertainment and\u00a0endless amounts of love.
