JENNA KERNAN spent much of her childhood wandering in the woods of the Catskill Mountains, navigating the forest at her father’s instruction, so books of adventure and romance hold a special place in Jenna’s heart. Outdoorsmen have always been irresistible to her, and her husband, James, is no exception. Jenna now lives north of New York City in the Hudson Valley, USA, across the river from her beloved Catskill Mountains. She visits the grassy meadows and quiet groves often in her imagination.
