Jennifer Dahl

Jennifer Dahl is a freelance writer who was introduced to the subject of History by a college professor who believed in telling both sides of the story - that written by the loser as well as that written by the winner. When some of those stories didn't provide the loser's side, she took it upon herself to provide one.

 

With a fresh opinion on what really caused the downfall of the Catholic Church in Tudor England, 'Evil's Own Trinity' introduces the reader to the real witch responsible for Henry's failures as a king, a husband, and a father. In 'This Lesser Earth', Ms. Dahl's foray into Kansas life in the 1870s, a widower finds a runaway whore in a collapsed sod house on his Kansas ranch. She's there because she's running from the living; he's there because he knows running away from the dead is impossible. The two of them together have to find a place to stand their ground.

 

With a style strongly reminiscent of Daphne duMaurier, Jennifer Dahl delivers a dark story filled with passion, intrigue, love, hate, obsession, and manipulation from beyond the grave. At no time is there any guarantee that there will be a happy ending.

 

Turning for a time to the history of her own family, Ms. Dahl researched her genealogy and published a collection of family stories and recipes under the title 'Best of Our Best: All-American Recipes of an All-American Family from All Over the World'. She was not particularly surprised to discover she was descended from William the Conqueror, and credits her bloodline for her creative focus. Ms. Dahl spends her free time taking care of her husband of thirty-five-plus years, her menagerie of rescue cats and dogs, and working in an insurance agency. Most of her waking hours are spent listening to the voices of the characters inside her head tell her what she's gotten wrong and how she can make it right. She is currently at work on her fourth novel, Ghosts of Ruby Valley, which introduces us to the challenges facing a woman doctor in her efforts to make her place in a small military town in Nevada's Old West.
