Jennifer Jaynes

USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Jaynes has always had a passion for writing, even if it took her a while to turn her passion into a career. After graduating from Old Dominion University with a bachelor’s degree in health sciences and a minor in management, she made her living as a content manager, webmaster, news publisher, editor, and copywriter. Then everything changed in 2014 when her first novel, Never Smile at Strangers, topped bestseller lists at USA Today, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble. At that point, there was no going back.

Since her debut, Jaynes has added two more novels to the Strangers Series. Her new novel is the stand-alone thriller, The Stranger Inside.

Recently I asked Jaynes about what she was reading. Her reply:

I'm re-reading Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.

I’ve read (& listened) to this book several times since 2014 and will undoubtedly read it several more.

First published in 1937, it was one of the first books that focused on the power of the human mind--and how thinking in a certain way directly influences the results in one's life.

One of the book's most powerful teachings is this: "The starting point of all achievements is desire. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desire brings weak results, just as a small fire makes a small amount of heat."

This book has completely transformed every facet of my life for the better.
