Comments

Jennifer Hallock spends her days teaching history and her nights writing historical happily-ever-afters. She has a master’s degree from Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service, and has written for and helped edit several academic and global policy publications. She lived and worked in the Philippines, Lebanon, and Thailand, but now she writes at her little brick house on a New England homestead—kept company by her husband, a growing flock of chickens, and a mutt named Wile E.
