J.F. Jenkins is a multi-published author, who has no less than three series with Astraea Press. She lives in Minneapolis Minnesota with her husband, son, and two cats. She graduated from Bethel University in 2006 with a degree in Media Communication with minors in both writing and film. When she is not busy writing, she spends her free time playing games, reading, and spending time with her family.
Says J.F. of her beginnings:
My first story I ever wrote was called “Adventures in Nightmare Land”. It was written in third grade and an illustrated paper book. Each page had one sentence and artwork that hasn’t improved much over the years. The story itself was about a paranormal investigator who had to battle the evil villains of horror movies. It was a pretty big hit in the classroom. Not sure what my teacher thought of it of course, but I had a lot of fun writing it.
Find J.F. on Amazon! Or on Barnes & Noble!
LOL. so your artwork hasn’t improved much since 3rd grade?
Mine either.
It has always amazed me that some people have the talent to draw, paint, or sculp images which are so lifelike that they could take a breath and walk away. While I do good to represent people with stick figures.
So, did you continue your writing and illustrating AFTER 3rd grade (& before you grew into adulthood)?
Haha – I love it! I’m thinking scanning it in and showing us your artwork is a great idea
Ha
My teacher got hold of mine and tore it up. I made sure no one ever saw my writing again for decades! Love you cover pic.
