Jenna Petersen

Jenna Petersen started writing full-time in 1999 when her husband said, “You’re only happy when you’re writing, why don’t you do that?” In 2004, her dream came true when her literary agent called to say she’d just sold two books to Avon. Her tenth book with Avon, Her Notorious Viscount, comes out in April 2009. She also writes erotic historical romance as Jess Michaels, and helped launch the Avon Red line. She’s been a Bookscan and Waldenbooks Mass Market bestseller and won the Bookbuyers Best Award for Best Historical of 2007 (Desire Never Dies). In addition, she has run The Passionate Pen since 1999. This popular site for aspiring authors contains information on literary agents, publishing houses, articles about writing and the industry, links and Jenna’s Diary toward and beyond publication.
