I am a friend but have also accompanied Jenna on her research expeditions with Tempest Tours. I am amazed at Jenna's artistry, her personal discipline, and her total dedication to accurate research in building her characters. Her energy and vision have expanded my personal world, and that can't help but translate into her professional world as a writer. Jenna is completely connected to environments she seeks to portray and I have witnessed this personally. I am not aprofessional writer but I understand writing and the arts and Jenna is an exceptional talent.
