Here's the thing. I'm not a salesperson or a marketer. I don't want to be. My "marketing philosophy" basically runs in tandem with that Buddhist idea that "when the student is ready, the teacher appears"--except maybe the other way around.

Starting from the Back
For a while, That’s a Jenn Story and The Pilgrimage blog are probably going to be carrying mostly the same posts. Because they’re relevant to both of them. #AlltheReadership, the Readership. #AlltheReadership.
Who knew that even publishing for oneself could be such a drawn out process? Probably good that the book release party for Favored One is in September and not any earlier, but we have a cover! And this is the back of it.
What the Readers Thought
Reviews for the original, pre-Pilgrimage novel, for your consideration.
The Distinguished Professor of New Testament who gushed so unabashedly on Facebook over Trees in the Pavement in 2008, has written a review of my forthcoming book, Favored One, which you will find, when you buy it and open it up, inside the front cover.

I will share those here one day, but today, here’s what other people said about Trees, which is still available, by the way:

We should probably not get our hopes up. And you might not even be here anymore. But back when this blog was newer (and I was actually writing it), we used to talk about this book I had going that I wanted to publish, and guess what? I’m about to publish it!
Actually, the Pilgrimage and the Sanctuary at Woodville are going to publish it together. We are really excited about it and I will be sharing more information over the next couple of months, but for now I want to give a little love to my first book, Trees in the Pavement.
They were cutting the branches off the trees again.
When Zari first arrived in East London, she had wondered about the trees. She had never seen any fields and farms in London, like there were at home in Kosovo. But there were more trees. Or at…

The Like of God
I was loved as a child. I know I was fortunate in this, and I think I even knew it then. I was loved by my family, I mean, which I suspect is the main thing, in childhood. I had a little more trouble at school, though, and somewhere along the way I picked up…Read more The Like of God
