You found me! www.LenaJakes.com is your home base for all Teams, future Culver Cove and other soon to be written/read adventures.

As dreams go, it's a pretty simple one, but it's a dream all the same. I escaped into books as a kid, and now I can (hopefully) help others escape every once in awhile as well. I can't thank you enough for believing in this giant world of people I dreamt of, and you read about.

About Me

Well, I am Lena.
In my real everyday life, I'm a single mom of two teenage boys, three dogs, with an over active imagination and manage a law firm in Arizona.

In my other life, I am putting my daydreams into words—which believe it or not is quite a feat considering I've been writing since before we had computers... or typewriters... or time not devoted to someone/something else. No—seriously—I have books and books of paper to prove how really desperate I was to write.

Though the words I wrote back in high school still make me cry, it's usually because they're really badly written. But, that didn't stop me from creating new worlds, new men, new dangerous situations for them to find their women and their women to find them.

I love each of my characters, and there is a little bit of me in each of the characters. To know and (hopefully) love my people is to know and (hopefully) love – or at least like – me. Lots of people inspire me, and even more push me, and a few of you read me. To all of you—I say thanks!

So... that's me. What about you? When I read more than I wrote, I always wanted to tell the author how much they helped me enjoy my day. I'm asking that you not be as hesitant as I was. Feel free to contact me—I like knowing that I'm not the only one who lives in a fantasy land!
