Jenna Kinghorn was born in Madison, Wisconsin, and grew up on the east coast and in the midwest. Since childhood she has loved reading, writing, animals, photography, and travel.

Growing up, Jenna’s career ambitions changed monthly, and literally ran the gamut from A (archaeologist, astronaut, astronomer…) to Z (zookeeper). After finishing high school she  combined her passions  with a B.A. in the self-designed major of Science Writing.

Arriving in California after college, she worked as a park aide in the Mendocino area. She eventually moved to myth-shrouded Silicon Valley and became a corporate slave/technical writer for computer networking companies. She kept her sanity by volunteering as a naturalist, first at Ano Nuevo State Reserve, later at Fitzgerald Marine Reserve.

Lucrative stock options and a supportive husband made it possible for her to quit being a corporate cog after a couple of decades. She now pursues becoming a novelist. She lives in Washington state with her husband and a very spoiled Irish Water Spaniel named Boomer.

When not chained to her computer trying to lure her muse onto the page, Jenna likes to be outside, exploring and marveling at the wonders of nature. Her passion for scuba diving and nature photography takes her all over the world.
