Love Letters of the Angels of Death is hard for me to describe, so I've led you, via this link, to a review of it. It's not like any novel I've ever read. It's a fascinating work of literature. Although it's fiction, I can recognize many real-life experiences and incidents that Jenny used as inspiration in her writing, and it feels to me like a very personal book. We are very proud of her. She wrote it over a period of several years while being a stay-at-home Mom to her husband and five sons.

Handing an autographed copy to her cousin. The lady at the table with her is another Alberta author, Fran Kimmel (The Shore Girl). |
She has a book signing event scheduled for a book store in Red Deer, and another in Calgary. I believe she's going to try to have one in Edmonton and Lethbridge as well. So she'll be very busy in the next few months. Her literary agent is already shopping around her second novel so we're hoping the success of this one will boost the interest in her second one.
Love Letters of the Angels of Death is available on-line at Amazon.ca

Wow Pat, how exciting. How proud you all must be. And how well your daughter did to write it while being a busy wife and mother as well.
I'm going to be keeping an eye out for it in our local library, and if they don't have it before too long I shall recommend they get it.
