Hi, and thanks so much for stopping by! My name is Jennifer, but my friends and family call me Jen. I live in the small City of River Oaks (only two square miles) here in Texas. The Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth sits on our doorstep, and I love listening to the fighter jets take off.
I am a 51 year old mom of two not-so-little kids, ages 20 and 24. I have been married for 25 years to my amazing husband, and we live with three hairballs - and one doggo. I work full-time for the state of Texas - Admins rock!
I started reading at a young age when first introduced to my mother's stash of Nancy Drew Mysteries. Then I developed an odd fascination for horror and became obsessed with Stephen King during my middle school years. It is still my favorite horror novel. I was in high school when the "romance" book bug took a bite. I read my first historical romance novel, Skye O'Malley, by Bertrice Small, and I never looked back. That was almost 30 years ago. I love history and the Dark Ages of Scotland and Britain, with Tudor England and Regency following close behind. I adore Jane Austen! My passion is still Historical Romance, although I will read just about any genre that strikes my fancy these days.
I have been gaming since the days of Atari when I would sit and play Asteroids and Missile Command for hours, after homework, of course! I still recall my father getting our first computer and becoming enveloped in PC gaming with Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves and Oregon Trail. Consoles by Nintendo and the Play Station soon followed, and the rest is history. I introduced my children to gaming at a young age, and we have been gaming and playing ever since. We play PC games like Minecraft, Genshin Impact, Fortnite, Wizard101, Pirate101, Toontown Rewritten, and games on Roblox , Xbox Gamepass, and Steam. We do play a few console games on Switch and PS4, but stick to PC games.
I am not new to the blogging world, and I have been online in some form or fashion, sharing my thoughts and musings for several years. I wanted a 'new' space where I could combine what I enjoy - my sometimes chaotic musings over books and gaming, sharing our adventures with bits of randomness and memes thrown in. That is what you will find here.
