About Jennifer   | About Jennifer Shorty BioJennifer Colt is the author of the zany chick-lit crime series, featuring identical twin investigators Terry and Kerry McAfee.Story of my LifeI was born in Dallas, Texas in the year of the monkey.Monkeys are not known for their decorum. We're big-time pranksters, and no respecters of the status quo. I have an in-born suspicion of all authority figures. My motto: Beware the men in funny hats. All of my heroes have been bareheaded. Most of them have been funny. I truly believe that humor is next to godliness. I have pursued many interests and performed many jobs on my way to becoming a comedy writer. Here are a few: Classical pianist, linguist, video salesperson, telephone solicitor, soft-core porn writer, swimmer, children's programmer, horror screenwriter, waitress, ballet dancer, photographer, temp, continuity supervisor, development executive, property management service desk operator. Whew. I get tired just thinking about it. I'm now the happiest person on earth because I get to be creative all day, thinking of ways to make people chuckle. I'm not hawking someone else?s copyrighted work, I'm not evaluating someone else's writing, and I ain't fixing toilets. (My first day at the property management company, someone called from a bank to complain they were experiencing ?a bad smell? in the storage closet. I didn't know what to do. Call the bad smell police? I couldn't find them in the Rolodex.) Needless to say, I was not fulfilled doing any of the above. I like to think I'm in my element now, sitting here and getting up to monkeyshines all day long. I truly believe we were meant to have some fun between cradle and grave. I wish everyone felt the same way! Keep laughing, Jennifer Click here to check out some of Jennifer's frequently asked questions. |
