Jenna Bennett AKA Jennie Bentley
Jenna/Jennie writes the New York Times bestselling Do It Yourself home renovation mysteries for Berkley Prime Crime and the Soldiers of Fortune series of science fiction romance for Entangled Publishing, as well as the Cutthroat Business mysteries for her own gratification. A former Realtor® and home renovator, she lives in Nashville with a husband and two boys, a hyperactive dog, a killer parakeet, two frogs and a couple of goldfish. A native of Norway, she's been hanging out on U.S. soil for the past twenty five years, and still hasn't managed to kick her native accent.
Patricia started her career in the travel industry in New York City working for Eastern Airlines in their reservations department. She worked with one of the first computers ever used by an airline, which still required IBM card to be filled out. She moved to BOAC (before they merged with BEA and became British Airways) and worked in the refunds department and on their fares desk.
Pregnant, she and her husband moved to Oregon where she eventually became a travel agent; moving with the never-ending-changes in the industry, and ended up being forced into retirement when the large worldwide agency she worked for closed ninety percent of its branch offices. That was December 2001.
She has published several short stories, a few as mystery SF/fantasy crossover and humorous mysteries that take place in a moorage for floating homes. The first of the humorous mysteries was in the anthology Murder Across The Map. Pat lives in a floating home on the slough side of an island in The Columbia River.
Patricia is the author of Downsized To Death. Available on Amazon, Fictionwise and at:
