Jennifer Sadera's debut, I Know She Was There, is the 2025 IPPY gold medal winner in the Suspense/Thriller category, and a 2025 Judges' Top Pick in the Killer Nashville Silver Falchion competition. Her writing journey began at book publisher NAL with stops at national women's magazines Woman's World, Redbook, and Beauty Digest before transitioning to freelance writing and, eventually, authoring suspense novels. She is an active member of International Thriller Writers, Mystery Writers of America, and Sisters in Crime. Her writing has earned her multiple awards at Atlanta Writers Conferences and a fellowship at the Martha's Vineyard Institute of Creative Writing. In her free time, Jennifer tries (unsuccessfully) to deter deer from her garden, eats too much chocolate, spoils her grown children's dogs, and cuddles with her brand-new granddaughter. Her latest novel, Maybe You Lied, is slated for release in September of 2026.
