Welcome! Come and learn a little more about award-winning, bestselling author and screenwriter Jenni James. She’s an incredible force to be reckoned with—with over 50+ books and several screenplays. Jenni’s determined to recreate the entertainment industry and provide more clean, family-friendly content with incredible men and women and inspirational stories that touch hearts and change lives. Stories that make you laugh, cry, engage, and inspire. She calls it ‘teaching without preaching.’ After years—frustrated with subpar entertainment: Dopey dads, teens without morals, crude humor, and often frustrating character arcs, blasé writing which was only meant to capture the moment but not truly resonate—Jenni has decided to use her writing superpowers for good and bring light, joy, hope and family-centered growth to a very struggling entertainment structure. Why not incorporate comedy with beautiful messages that inspire and leave you thinking long after you’ve left the pages (or theater)? Each hero or heroine in her stories is a compelling, strong, non-perfect person learning to grow and become better. Jenni’s main goal is to have you walk out of a theater (or put a book down) and be happier—more joyful and bright than when you picked it up. There’s enough dark in the world; her mission is to produce good content that uplifts, worldwide—and truly brightens and creates joy for everyone involved. So, if you’re ready for incredible doses of positivity and heartfelt messages that make you laugh-out-loud, move you to tears, and hold your family tighter, then you’ve come to the right place!

His daughter is ecstatic, but he knows it'll never work out.   Inheritance to Love— Twenty years ago, Kimberly was left at the altar when her fiancée Michael ran off with her maid of honor. Now, she’s a divorcee who despises men, and Michael’s a widower about to lose everything. Unbeknownst to the other, each of them has received a million-dollar inheritance from their former boss if they can stay ten days in a secluded cabin, no internet, phone, television—just peace and quiet. Oh, and with each other. (Filmed. In post-production)   Crossroads to Home—Two estranged brothers (17 & 22), whose mom dies and sends them on a road trip to help them heal, not only from her death, but from the father that left their lives ten years earlier after a bitter affair. She arranges this trip to give them back the one thing they need most—their dad. Just because she couldn't get along with him doesn't mean they can't. It's hard, it's raw, it's beautiful, and so very, very healing. These are just a fraction of the projects Jenni has in the works. She currently has nearly 40 screenplays written—teen, family, romance, drama, historical, as well as a couple of compelling TV series.
