Can a global pandemic become the launchpad for your wildest dreams? For Jennifer Hartman, being laid off alongside her husband during COVID created the perfect "now or never" moment that transformed this shy, introverted mom into a bestselling romance author with 14 books in just four years.

Jennifer pulls back the curtain on her meteoric rise in publishing, sharing how her fourth book "Still Beating" – a dark romance about two people chained together in a basement – unexpectedly caught fire online and is now being adapted for film. With refreshing candor, she discusses the emotional vulnerability of sharing her words with strangers and the surreal experience of seeing her books on Target shelves. Her creative process might surprise you; each book gets its own unique Spotify playlist that helps spark inspiration when writer's block strikes.

What's most touching is how Jennifer's stories have profoundly impacted readers' lives. She recounts a tearful encounter with a woman who credited one of Jennifer's books for giving her a reason to live during a dark period. These connections remind us why storytelling matters. Meanwhile, at home, her family dynamic has evolved beautifully as her husband transitioned from corporate life to becoming her business partner and stay-at-home dad, handling everything from book covers to household management.

Whether you're harboring secret dreams of authorship or simply love hearing how ordinary people achieve extraordinary things, Jennifer's journey proves that stepping outside your comfort zone can lead to unimaginable success. As she puts it: "It doesn't matter how big or wild your dream seems, it is absolutely attainable. You just have to do the steps to get there."
