Jennifer Jaynes

Jennifer Jaynes is a successful American author, best known for her work in the thriller and suspense genre. She was born in Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota, on October 30, 1972, and developed a love for reading at an early age. Jaynes was particularly drawn to the works of Stephen King, James Patterson, and Dean Koontz, which inspired her to pursue a career in writing.

Jaynes is the author of seven novels, including the Strangers series, which began in 2011 with the publication of "Never Smile at Strangers." The book was a huge success, earning top spots on multiple bestseller lists and establishing Jaynes as a force to be reckoned with in the thriller genre. "Never Smile at Strangers" became a USA Today #1 bestseller and appeared in the Kindle Store’s Top 100 list in several countries, including the U.S., UK, Canada, Australia, and Brazil. Many of Jaynes's books have been translated into foreign languages and adapted into audio format.

In addition to her success as a self-published author, Jaynes has also maintained active contracts with Thomas and Mercer, an imprint of Amazon Publishing. This has allowed her to establish herself as a "hybrid" author, able to balance the benefits of both traditional and self-publishing. Jaynes is also a proud mother of two twins and has always wanted to be a novelist. Living her dream, she continues to write thrilling and suspenseful novels that keep readers on the edge of their seats.
