Inspired by true personal and historical accounts, her novels have garnered twenty national literary awards. A frequent guest speaker and workshop presenter, she holds a BS in international marketing from Pepperdine. She lives with her husband and two sons in Oregon.

About The Ways We Hide:

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Sold on a Monday (823,000 copies sold print and ebook), comes a riveting tale of a woman whose tragic past, unconventional brilliance and talent for escape lead her on a harrowing WWII journey of love, betrayal, and a last chance to save those left in danger.

ABOUT JENNIFER COBURN:

Jennifer Coburn is the author of the mother-daughter travel memoir We'll Always Have Paris, as well as four contemporary women’s novels, and a contributor to five literary anthologies. She is a former employee and spokesperson for Planned Parenthood, and she has published hundreds of articles about reproductive rights, racial justice, and family relationships in newspapers and magazines, including The Washington Post, Miami Herald, The Philadelphia Inquirer, and San Diego Magazine. She lives with her family in San Diego.

About Cradles of the Reich:

Inspired by the untold stories of the Nazi Lebensborn program, and for fans of The Lilac Girls and The Nightingale, a richly told historical novel of three very different women at the Heim Hochland maternity home in Bavaria at the onset of WWII, as Hitler prepares to shape his Aryan nation in terrifying ways.

ABOUT EDEN ROBINS:

Eden Robins loves novels best, but they take forever, so she also writes short stories and self-absorbed essays. She co-hosts a science podcast called No Such Thing As Boring with an actual scientist, and produces a monthly live lit show in Chicago called Tuesday Funk. Previously, she sold sex toys, wrote jokes for Big Pharma, and once did a stand-up comedy set to an audience who didn’t boo. She lives in Chicago, has been to the bottom of the ocean, and will never go to space. When Franny Stands Up is her first novel.

About When Franny Stands Up:

An enchanting debut set in post-WWII Chicago about the healing power of laughter. All Franny Steinberg wants is the chance to help her veteran brother move past his PTSD, while also figuring out a way to mend her own broken heart. Little does she realize that stepping onto the stage at Chicago’s Blue Moon to perform a showstopping, stand-up comedy act begins a chain of events that just might save both Franny and her brother.
