That person has arrived.”

ABOUT G. S. JENNSEN

G. S. Jennsen lives somewhere in the U.S., in a locale that may or may not be where she lived the last time she published a book (she’s a gypsy at heart), with her husband and one or more dogs. She has become an internationally bestselling author since her first novel, Starshine, was published in 2014. She has chosen to continue writing under an independent publishing model to ensure the integrity of her stories and her ability to execute on the vision she has for their telling.
While she has been a lawyer, a software engineer and an editor, she’s found the life of a full-time author preferable by several orders of magnitude. When she isn’t writing, she’s gaming or working out or getting lost in the mountains that loom large outside the windows in her home. Or she’s dealing with a flooded basement, or standing in a line at Walmart and wondering who all these people are (because she’s probably new in town). Or sitting on her back porch with a glass of wine, looking up at the stars, trying to figure out what could be up there.

Well, LIMINAL SPACE already has over 100K words, and I’m not even done with the “zero draft” yet! The story has come together quickly and smoothly. This book is going to be so epic - everything you expect to see from the sequel to the Riven Worlds saga. It also picks up those relationship threads and story twists from the Cosmic Shores novels and takes them in exciting directions. I want to tell you everything - but I should probably wait and let the book do that, right?
Oh, what’s a “zero draft”? Why not a first draft? Well, the first draft comes later. When the zero draft is done, I’ve put words on the page for every scene in my outline. But I KNOW that when I read back through what I’ve written, I’m going to discover I have additional scenes to write. And I definitely know (because of all the words I didn’t write) that many of the scenes are stubs: they capture the major action of the scene, but they lack setting and context, which means many more words to write. Therefore, “zero draft.”
More news soon.

Quick question: do I have any fluent German speakers here? I’d love a brief consultation on a project - it shouldn’t take more than 15 minutes of your time. If you’re interested, hit ‘reply’ or email me at gs@gsjennsen.com.
Also, just to let everyone know: the website has gotten a lovely glow-up. The most important feature of the redesign is that it now looks 1000% better on mobile. It should be easier to find whatever book and format you’re looking for. The main page and series pages are much cleaner and more streamlined, too. And if you’re someone who keeps tabs on the WIP word count meter, you can now find it on the relevant book page (currently, Liminal Space).
