Jennifer Bates

Jennifer Bates was born in Spokane, Washington and grew up in Burien, Washington. Jennifer started writing at a young age, always filling spiral notebooks with ideas and stories. When she was in 4th grade, she wrote a short story for a young writers conference and placed second. She always had a story of some kind in her head, and it wasn’t until 2015 that her son finally talked her into putting her favorite story to paper and a new adventure was born. Jennifer enjoys fiction novels of many genres, but her favorite book series (she reads it every year) is the Wilderness series by Sara Donati. Fascinated by anything organized crime related, she finds inspiration for her writing. When she's not writing, she is a legal secretary in Louisiana where she resides with her husband, kids, and grandchildren.
