Jewel is a free-spirited romance junkie with a quirky sense of humor.
With 10 years of flossing lectures under her belt, she took early retirement from her dental hygiene career to stay home with her three awesome boys and manage the family business.
After her best friend of nearly 30 years suggested a few books from the Contemporary Romance genre, Jewel was hooked. Devouring two and three books a week but still craving more, she decided to practice sustainable reading, AKA writing.
When she’s not donning her cape and saving the planet one tree at a time, she enjoys yoga with friends, good food with family, rock climbing with her kids, watching How I Met Your Mother reruns, and of course…heart-wrenching, tear-jerking, panty-scorching novels.

A Brooklyn Hockey story
AUGUST
My third practice in Brooklyn, New York, is just as brutal as the first two had been. It’s not just that I’m disoriented in a new city, and surrounded by people who don’t know me. But the language barrier makes everything worse.
At least when I was skating for Minnesota, they had a Finnish goalie. When I got into a real bind, I could always ask him to translate.
Not so lucky in Brooklyn. Today the assistant coach wanted to give me a specific note, so he spoke it into Google Translate.
What came back on his phone, in Finnish, said:Two left feet to hockey go fast.
Fucking apps. I’d only nodded, as if I could understand.
My teammates are nice enough. The captain always tries to give me an encouraging smile. But I feel like a dunce, and it’s exhausting.
If only I’d been a better student. My siblings are all brilliant English speakers. But I’d been a stubborn young man, caring only for hockey.
