Over 20 years ago, I started writing the sorts of stories that I wanted to read - stories where ordinary people do extraordinary things as their lives take unexpected twists and turns. My stories are brimming with all kinds of different people - LGBTQ2, straight, all colors, ages, shapes and sizes, sometimes from this world, other times not.
I believe good fiction should entertain and have a momentum of its own that will transport readers away from the stresses of their daily lives. In an age of rampant sexualization and violence across entertainment media, I offer an alternative: satisfying stories to sweep you up into a different world where people, much like you, overcome challenges and have remarkable adventures.
I started my writing career under the pen name, Prudence Macleod. More recently, I've begun using my own name, Jennifer Crandall.
When I'm not writing, I'm reading, knitting, DIY-ing or dog walking on a small island at the bottom of a bay off the larger island of Newfoundland, Canada, where I live with my partner of 25 years.
Cheers!
Prudence

Reader Reviews
"Ok. I loved this book. loved the premise (renewed life/chance to rescue battered women), loved the world building, the romance, the angst. the action (I love to see bullies get beat, not sorry) I really liked the ending that, while wrapping up the plot well, still leaves room for another story along the line. Yes it is a lesbian romance/adventure; but its not explicit, there is some kissing and it explores polyamory, but the sex is all in the reader's imagination. This book would be suitable for older teen readers. Overall it was a delightful read."

"J.L. Crandall expands on her magical novel "Awakened" with this beloved sequel. My favorite character is the Lady Ketdryn, the elf queen. She's a healer, with healing being a general theme throughout. The overall story is both action/adventure and romantic with the development and back story between Ketdryn and Silver the Hunter. Their relationship goes beyond life and death. This is overall a really good story. A diamond in a haystack."

Ordinary people are capable of remarkable feats given the right set of circumstances and these days, maybe more than ever, we all need more everyday heroes. I believe good fiction should entertain and have a momentum of its own that will transport readers away from the stresses of their daily lives. In an age of rampant sexualization and violence across entertainment media, I offer an alternative: satisfying stories to sweep you up into a different world where people, much like you, overcome challenges and have remarkable adventures. My goal is to write stories that inspire people to be their own everyday hero; to imagine new possibilities for themselves and perhaps change the course of their own story. I invite you to join me on the adventure. Sincerely, J.L. Crandall |
