Sheridan “Dani” Reed is a recently unemployed photojournalist living in New York City. Her boyfriend is vacationing without her, and her best friend has abandoned her for a job in the south.
 
Is a quarter-life crisis a thing?
 
After accepting a freelance job in Louisiana for Southern Style magazine, she feels the bleakness of her life back in New York fading in the rearview mirror. Getting back to her southern roots seems to be just what she needs to lift her spirits and spark her creativity. During her stay, she meets playboy Micah Landry and his colorful family. She knows she should avoid him and keep things professional, but his southern charms are hard to resist.
 
Through the lens of her camera, she finds the beauty and soul of the Landry Plantation, but it’s her beauty and soul that capture Micah’s attention.
 
When an unexpected phone call takes her back to New York, she’s forced to face the life she was trying to escape head on.
 
Will her trip and the Landrys only become fond memories, or will Dani find her way back to them and her beloved south?
 
In their debut novel, Jiffy Kate bring you a story of love, adventure, and finding a place to call home.

When a picture of the pond pops up on the screen, my breath hitches in my chest. With the moon beaming down and reflecting off the glass-like water, it’s more than beautiful. It’s tranquil, peaceful, but most of all, it reminds me of her. I can almost see us there, our feet hanging off the side, our shoulders grazing every once in a while. She looked so gorgeous in the moonlight. I wish I had a picture of that, but this is a close second.
 
“That looks like something straight out of a magazine,” I whisper before I realize what I’m saying.
 
“Hopefully, it will be.” She laughs.
 
“How much for a print of that?” I ask.
 
“Really? You’d want—”
 
“Yes,” I cut her off, “I’d love to have one of your pictures.”
 
“Well, it’s yours. I’ll order the prints once I’m back in New York and have them sent directly to you.”
 
“Let me pay.”
 
“No, it’s my pleasure. Really.”
 
“Give me your phone,” I instruct, and she willingly hands it over. I put my phone number in as a new contact and shoot myself a text before handing it back. “I have your number now, so I’ll text you my address.”
 
“Okay,” she says, smiling.
 
“Okay.” For the hundredth time today, I find myself staring at her lips for longer than necessary, wanting to bend down and kiss the shit out of her. She swallows hard and I abruptly break my gaze. Turning around, I leave in search of something to do before I get myself in trouble.
 
 
 
 
First things first, we're the realest.
 
Oh, wait. Iggy already used that one.
 
Well, let's see…
 
What some people don't know is there are two of us and we're both Jennifers. How lucky are we? The most common name from the 70's! Our parents were so original.
 
We found each other through Twilight and tornadoes. Sounds like a crazy combination, but it's true. We were roaming around in the same groups of people on social media, but we hadn't really became friends. But that all changed on a stormy Oklahoma night when we noticed that we were both experiencing the same tornado warnings.
 
We met a week later for lunch and the rest is history. We already knew we had the whole Twilight thing in common, but what we learned that day is that we both loved music and traveling. Together, we've been everywhere. Well, not everywhere, but a lot of places…Seattle, Forks, LA, New York, Chicago, Philly, Nashville, and New Orleans, where our hearts reside.
 
About six months after we met, we also realized we both had a passion for writing. When we started outlining our first story, we thought that would be it. One story and done. So, we dumped everything we loved into those 100,000 words. If you're familiar with the term "crack fic", that was kind of what it was for us. We had fun with it and let ourselves live on those pages.
 
But it was like Lays potato chips.
 
We couldn't write just one.
 
So, twenty stories later, here we are–publishing our first novel. And how crazy is it that we went back to the beginning.
 
Finding Focus was originally a Twilight Fan Fic titled Southern Comfort.
