Jennifer S. Brown is the author of Modern Girls, which was a Goodreads Choice Award
semifinalist for Historical Fiction, a Massachusetts Book Award “Must Read,” and a USA
Today bestseller. Her writing has appeared in McSweeney’s, Fiction Southeast,
Southeast Review, Hippocampus Magazine, Cognoscenti, and Bellevue Literary Review,
among other places.
Jennifer has a BFA in film and television from New York University and an MFA in creative
writing from the University of Washington. She loves writing historical fiction because the
research lets her live vicariously in another time and place. Jennifer has two (mostly
grown) children, two beagles, and a husband who pretends not to hear her when she
asks for more dogs. You can find Jennifer on Instagram (@brownjennys) or at
www.jennifersbrown.com.“Don’t let the title fool you: Jennifer S. Brown’s latest is anything but quiet. From New
York City’s crowded tenements to its supper clubs and secret speakeasies, The Whisper
Sister takes readers on a heart-stopping journey of lies, passion, and shocking betrayal.
When young Minnie Soffer arrives at Ellis Island a full seven years after her father, her
family is greeted by a clean-shaven stranger who works for the city’s most notorious
gangsters. Smarter than all the men in her family combined, it is only a matter of time
before Minnie claims her rightful place as her father’s successor. Packed with tragic
twists and stunning surprises, this Prohibition-era saga will have readers drunk on Jennifer
S. Brown’s talent.”

The teacher who writes with Jeremy S Adams
The first thing you need to know about me is that I’m a teacher who writes versus a writer who teaches. My students have always been my inspiration. My books would be very different if not written through the lens of an educator who is deeply worried that our children have become disheartened about a country I love. To me, this does not feel like an abstract problem. A country without patriotism feels like one that will wither, a wandering nation without a soul. I’ve taught at one public high school in Bakersfield, CA for over 25 years. The same school where my dad taught for over 20 years. The school where I met my wife and I graduated from, as did my 4 siblings. Lest you think I’m a guy who simply can’t get another job, the reason I’ve stayed in one place is because my school is located in a region that is an incredibly diverse microcosm of America. It is endlessly changing and thus always new and fascinating. We have brilliant and beautiful diversity at our school. @https://jeremysadamsauthor.com/ #TeacherWriter#EducationAndWriting #JeremySAdams#TeachingInspiresWriting

Brian Brady Golden Gate Tales
Born and raised in the vibrant heart of San Francisco, Brian Brady found endless inspiration in the City, celebrated for its stunning architecture, dynamic sports teams, rich traditions, and colorful characters. His career began as a Police Officer, later transitioning to a Corporate Security Executive. This path led him through diverse landscapes, from Berkeley's eclectic streets to the scenic vistas of Farmington, New Mexico, and eventually back to the Bay Area. He then moved into the private sector, holding Executive positions at prestigious organizations such as NBC Universal and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Brian’s professional journey is as varied as it is enriching, allowing him to encounter many fascinating individuals and gather compelling stories. His debut novel, "Oh, what a tangled web" (available on Amazon & Kindle), marked his entrance into the world of storytelling. Following its success, he completed additional manuscripts featuring the same beloved characters. Fans of the SFPD Homicide Inspectors from his first book will be delighted to follow their further exploits in "Hiding in Plain Sight" and subsequent novels. @https://www.goldengatetales.com/ #GoldenGateTales#BrianBradyAuthor #SanFranciscoStories#HistoricalFiction
