Jen Telger

Jen Telger is the author of the best-selling novel 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵 and its follow-on, Book Two in the Pullman Station series entitled 𝘚𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘚𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴. As a writer and avid people-watcher who loves to figure out what makes people tick (hint: it's never what you think!), Jen finds the beauty of writing lies in stories expanding exponentially as readers filter them through their own experiences, finding solace, inspiration, familiarity, and new adventures in which to play.

Having grown up in the small Midwestern town of Winona, MN, Jen has a keen eye for quirky characters, what makes a town a community, and the you-won’t-believe-this type of things that happen when residents upset the local apple cart.

When she's not writing, being a mom to two kids and two dogs, and wife to her husband, you can find Jen playing with her cameras, traveling to national parks or the family cabin, or putzing in her gardens. Lurking in bookstores, creating fantastic worlds in Minecraft, geeking out with her dad (and his cameras), and drinking way too much Elixir of Life (a.k.a. chocolate milk) are also frequent pastimes. Jen loves meeting her readers, interacting with them, and discovering what resonates. She's available for book clubs, podcasts, interviews, and event talks.
