Welcome to Jen Dodrill Writes
I’m so glad you’re here!
As women, we go through seasons. They change. We change. We grow.
I hope whatever season I’m in can offer you hope!
Besides sharing my personal thoughts, I write clean fiction, cozy mysteries, romantic suspense, and women’s fiction that encourages and inspires hope in women, particularly women over 45!

Cozy mystery series:
A clean, humorous cozy mystery series featuring a sharp-witted amateur sleuth, small-town secrets, and birding adventures gone wrong. When widow Peg Howard starts a birding group in Pensacola to cope with empty-nest syndrome, she doesn’t expect to find herself solving murders. But with a keen eye for detail and plenty of time on her hands, Peg keeps uncovering clues others miss—and landing in the middle of dangerous investigations.
