I love coffee.
Black. Bold. A bit bitter. I love coffee in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I don’t care if it’s real coffee or decaf. Just give me a mug of super hot, darkest of dark coffee and I’ll be happy.

I love books.
I do have a prejudice though - I’m not a fan of mysteries. Although, my husband is a big Agatha Christie fan so there may be hope for me yet! My favorite (obviously) is children’s literature.

I love writing.
The first story I wrote down was on the wide-lined paper you use in the 1st grade. I love to write notes, cards, letters, and most of all stories to (hopefully one day!) share with all to read.

Jennifer Brianne Jahn is a sometimes-always-writing children’s picture book author.
Okay, done writing in third-person. It’s true though, I am all those things above, but who I truly am is a Jesus follower. Day-by-day, I pray to be like Jesus for my husband and children. I do this through acts of service - cooking, cleaning (so not daily, but you know), homeschool-ing, and loving them even when I want to hide. It’s not easy, but Jesus never said it would be easy. He said it would be a life to the full and since the day I said “yes!” to Him (a whole 13 years ago) my life has been a glorious adventure, beyond what I imagined or even set forth for myself.
Speaking of more than I can imagine…I have a literary agent! I am represented by Karen Neumair with Credo Communications.
“I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, Our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified; died, and was buried. He descended into Hell; the third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, He is seated at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; and He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.”
