'Jennifer Beckstrand grew up on a steady diet of William Shakespeare and Jane Austen. After all that literary immersion, she naturally decided to get a degree in mathematics, which came in handy when one of her six children needed help with homework. After her fourth daughter was born, she started writing. By juggling diaper changes, soccer games, music lessons, laundry, and two more children, she finished her first manuscript—Rachel and Riley—in just under fourteen years.

Jennifer loves writing romance and is a #1 Amazon and USA Today Bestselling author of The Matchmakers of Huckleberry Hill series, The Honeybee Sisters series, The Petersheim Brothers series, and The Amish Quiltmaker series for Kensington Books. The Amish Quiltmaker’s Unlikely Match, came out in January 2024, and the unruly dog and pack of mischievous goats have readers and reviewers alike in stitches. Jennifer also writes sweet contemporary and historical romances. Her third Western, Maggie and Max, just hit the shelves, and Larkspur Ranch, the much anticipated second book in the Dandelion Meadows series, comes out in 2025.

Huckleberry Hill won the 2014 LIME Award for Inspiration Fiction and Huckleberry Summer was nominated for the 2014 Reviewer’s Choice Award by RT Book Reviews and the RITA Award by the Romance Writers of America. Home on Huckleberry Hill was nominated for the 2019 RITA Award. The Amish Quiltmaker’s Unexpected Baby was a finalist in the 2022 Carol Contest.

Jennifer has four daughters, two sons, four sons-in-law, one daughter-in-law, and eleven adorable grandchildren. She lives in the foothills of the Wasatch Front with her husband and plays pickleball and cuddles her grandchildren when she’s not writing.
