BOOK 2: RIVALS FOR THE WOLF CROWN

I’ve been working on the DAUGHTER OF THE WOLF QUEEN sequel all summer, and spending every day with my MMC is a pretty sweet gig, I gotta say.

But a break every now and then to hang out with the guy I realized was amazing when I was just 14 years old… and finally got around to marrying *mumble* years later?

I mean… that’s a love story I love to keep writing, too 💜

Took a break from writing the next House of the Wolf Queen book to spend a couple days in Amsterdam. Back to writing now, happy and full of cheese. 🧀🇳🇱📚 #travel #writersofinstagram #writinglife #romantasy #cheeselover🧀

Bleeding hearts are my favorite, as befits a romantasy author. #romancewritersofinstagram #indieauthor #columbiamd #romantasy

When I was in Paris last year I fell in love with “café gourmand” — a cup of coffee with three small random desserts. Tiny treats are always fun, but about the “you get whatever desserts they feel like serving you” aspect delighted me. Last week I took my laptop to @lamadeleinebakeryandcafe in Columbia (MD) and created my own version with the smallest treats available. As temporary offices go, this was a 10/10. #writinglife #columbiamd #romancewritersofinstagram #writersofinstagram

First in a series I’m calling “Jenny’s Office Today,” a pic from @roggenart_ in Savage Mill (MD), where I took inspiration from a pistachio croissant cube and a caffè mocha. (Admittedly this is from last month, but I’ve got a LOT of pastry pics to share.) @experiencesavagemill #writinglife #romanceauthorsofinstagram #maryland #indieauthor

All my life, they told me I was an orphan. My fate was sealed…

Until the day the Wolf Guard arrived.

The alpha saw who I really am…

And I learned about the life that was meant for me. That was my birthright ��— until it was stolen from me.

But now I’ve made an enemy of the king…

And my life is in the alpha’s hands.

🐺 Daughter of the Wolf Queen by Jenny Mercer 📖

#romantasy #werewolfromance #bookstagram #shifterromance #bookboyfriends

Great to meet so many readers and fellow book enthusiasts at the @queentakesbook author event last night! My little wolf plushie was attracting his own fan club 🐺. I was lucky enough to share a table with @e.m.hedrickbooks and her delicious-looking contemporary romance, “Slow Roasted” (check it out!). Many thanks to Queen Takes Book an all you awesome people who picked up my wolfy little love story 🩶👸👑

It’s great to hear readers’ honest perspectives — and sometimes they come with surprises! In the bonus chapter, I aimed to make Julian more complex and build out what Evie didn’t see behind the scenes — but did I go too far? Tell me what you think. And thanks to the reader who shared her perspective in this review! Bonus content doesn’t get beta readers (for me), so this feedback is important!

I’m working on the DAUGHTER OF THE WOLF QUEEN sequel but it’s been a looooong few weeks so this is what most of my time at my desk looks like rn #indieauthor #romantasy #bookboyfriends #writinglife #kindleunlimited

He stole her from her bed in the middle of the night — but with good reason. How can the alpha hope to gain Evie’s trust? One thing is certain: returning her isn’t an option, because her home isn’t safe anymore. Nowhere is. #romantasy #pnr #shifterromance #werewolf #romancebookstagram #romancebookaddict #romancebookloversclub #alpha

The reviews are in . . . and readers are loving DAUGHTER OF THE WOLF QUEEN!

“I rescued you. You just don’t know it yet.”

The woman who raised Evie wasn’t what she appeared to be. Now Evie finds herself the captive of an alpha… and, perhaps, the heir to a throne stolen long ago.

Will she claim the life that was once her destiny? Or does her fate rest among the wolves?

READER REVIEW

'Tangled' vibes plus werewolves!

READER REVIEW

Swept me up right from the start… what if all your struggles in life were because you never truly belonged where you were—because you were meant for a castle, a crown, and a destiny far greater than you imagined?
