Jen Gilroy Books in Order

Jen Gilroy is a Canadian author of heartwarming romances that explore the complexities of finding home, family, and community. Growing up under the vast skies of western Canada and the quaint charm of a small Ontario town, she found solace in the world of literature, drawn to pioneering women like Laura Ingalls and independent heroines from L.M. Montgomery's novels. As a writer, Jen has been honing her craft since elementary school, where she penned her first poems and stories. Her passion for writing only intensified as she navigated academic pursuits, earning both undergraduate and graduate degrees while teaching at universities, publishing research, and working in marketing communications and international business development. Jen's journey as a romance author began with her realization that she had lost part of herself by putting aside her creative writing. Now, she crafts stories about ordinary women achieving their happy ever after, overcoming extraordinary challenges along the way. She has been recognized as an RWA Golden Heart finalist in Contemporary Romance, with her manuscript, 'The Cottage at Firefly Lake,' released by Hachette Book Group USA.
