Hi! My name is Jennifer and I'm the author of the dark YA/NA sci-fi 🛸 romance 🌹✨️Foiled Stars✨️ Series! I debuted in 2024 with Stag Beetle Books !

My stories are perfect for fans of Hades and Persephone, Beauty and the Beast🌹, and Dragonball Z!

They're about an alien villain crown prince👑 who is sent to Earth🌎 to conquer the planet who crash lands and falls in love with a human teenage girl.

A few of my favorite tropes are: villain romance🖤, enemies to lovers, good girl meets alpha bad boy, forbidden romance, royal romance and multi-POV!✨️

I'm currently drafting two more books to complete my series!! 👀

When I'm not writing I love: hiking, nature photography, going on long scenic drives, reading📚, traveling, baking, and spending time with my friends and family!

✨️I can be found on Instagram, Tiktok, and Threads under the handle: themidnight_novelist and on X under the handle: JAscienzo!✨️
