Jenni L Walsh

Jenni L. Walsh spends her days knee deep in words in Philadelphias suburbia. Beyond words, Jenni is a mama (of an feisty three-year-old, an on-the-go one-year-old, and a needy goldendoodle), a wife, a Philly and 'Nova sports fan, and a lover of carbs and Swedish fish (ideally consumed one after another).

But where did it all begin? Jenni spent her early years dabbling in various forms of writing and with her nose in a book. Her writing chops first began to develop through one-page stories. Never fail, the storyline followed the same progression: girl meets boy, girl marries boy, girl and boy have baby. That's it. Jenni's mom treated it like a masterpiece each and every time. 

Now Jenni has moved on to stories with a bit more oomph and, for the mamas, her debut novel, Becoming Bonnie, will be released on May 9, 2017 from Tor/Forge (Macmillan), followed by the sequel Being Bonnie in the summer of 2018. For the kiddos, Jenni's debut middle grade series, Brave Like Me, is forthcoming from Scholastic (Fall, 2018) and will feature true stories from women who, at a young age, accomplished daring feats of perseverance and bravery.
