A Brief Bio
Jennifer Wilke has been a scriptwriter and produced playwright, a newspaper columnist, an educational broadcast program manager, and a dialogue annotator for feature film translation. The best trip she’s ever taken was to the Ukraine at harvest time. Her fascination with family history led her to a decade of devoted research of the Civil War in order to turn the known pieces of her Ohio great-grandfather’s experience into a compelling novel. She is at work on a second historical book, set in the Pacific Northwest, where she lives with her family.
