Jennifer's Full Bio
Jennifer Hudson Taylor is an award winning author of inspirational fiction set in historic Europe and the Carolinas. Her debut novel, Highland Blessings was released in 2010 and won the Holt Medallion award for Best First Book. Her work has been reviewed by USA Today, Publisher’s Weekly, RT Book Reviews, and the Library Journal. Jennifer’s books are available across the globe in the USA, Canada, Europe and Australia and in multiple formats including hardback, paperback, e-books and audiobooks. Other works have appeared in national publications, such as Guideposts, Heritage Quest Magazine, RT Book Reviews, The Military Trader and USAir Magazine. Jennifer graduated from Elon University with a B.A. in Communications.
While Jennifer grew up in Greensboro, NC, she has since resided in the Winston-Salem and Charlotte areas. Most recently, she has moved to the coast with her husband and adult daughter in a neighborhood on the bay, only ten minutes from the beach. When she isn’t writing, Jennifer enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, cycling, horseback riding, long walks – especially on the beach. Most recently, she spends time kayaking with her husband on the bay where they fish, harvest oysters and clams.
Jennifer’s daughter, Celina has high-functioning Autism and Epilepsy. Therefore, Jennifer is often advocating for these two neurological conditions, as well as researching resources and support for her daughter. Jennifer’s second novel, Highland Sanctuary, is about a young woman in 15th century Scotland who has epilepsy in a time when most people were more suspicious than understanding. She has dedicated this novel to her daughter, Celina. Highland Sanctuary has become the book of her heart.
Jennifer's Life Verses
Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:37-39
