About me

My name is Bethany A. Jennings. I’m a YA fantasy author, editor, and poet, and I believe that words have power.

They can create worlds, or destroy hearts. They can bring reconciliation, or set bridges ablaze.

All of life is a war waged with words.

And when you build them together into a story, you create something with the ability to pierce, transform, comfort, startle, and awaken.

I love to read and write about steadfast courage, daring sacrifices, and tenacious heroes who drive us to step out in courage and use our gifts to serve the world around us. I write about disaster and triumph, beauty, leaning into the pain, and fighting the good fight, even when it hurts, even when you feel there’s nothing of yourself left, even when all you can do is hold on and take blind steps in the darkness.

Because I believe words can cast down the darkness. Stories can sever the shadows.

My mind is teeming with vibrant characters demanding that their stories be told, and worlds I’m desperate to share with you.

Please, come in! – make yourself comfortable! – and let me tell you a story. 🙂
