Jenna Jaxon

Jenna Jaxon is a best-selling author of historical romance, writing in a variety of time periods because she believes that passion is timeless. She has been reading and writing historical romance since she was a teenager. A romantic herself, Jenna has always loved a dark side to the genre, a twist, suspense, a surprise. She tries to incorporate all of these elements into her own stories. She lives in Virginia with her family and a small menagerie of pets--including two vocal cats, one almost silent cat, and a cocker spaniel who thinks he is a cat. When not reading or writing, she indulges her passion for the theatre, working at Hampton University, a private HBCU, as a professor of theater and humanities, and as a theater director. She often feels she is directing her characters on their own private stage. Jenna equates her writing to an addiction to chocolate because once she starts she just can’t stop.
