Jennifer Rush is a popular author from the United States, who likes to write novels for young adults, and children’s books. She is particularly well known to have written the successful Altered trilogy series. Author Rush was born in a small town, located near the shoreline of Lake Michigan in Michigan. For a long time, Rush wanted to leave the place, but she has not been able to take that step yet. It appears that her relationship with Michigan is that of love/hate. When it is the time of summer and spring, and also autumn in Michigan, author Rush loves being around very much. However, she equally hates the chilling winters in Michigan. Winters make the entire surrounding very cold and the snow forces the drivers to drive slowly. Both these things are very much disliked by the author. Rush is a happily married woman. She is in her early thirties and is the mother of a couple of children. The things that she likes the most apart from her family are books and pens. On several occasions, she likes to indulge in photography. She is more interested in taking beautiful photographs of her own. Author Rush also likes bad boys, but only in fiction. She says that she cannot think of marrying a bad boy in her life ever. Rush has experienced many exciting incidences in her life. She remembers that she has fallen off a moving vehicle on two occasions. The first time she fell was when she was 5 years old. Rush was being taken to the babysitters by her parents and she did not want to go, so she purposely leapt out of the car. During the second time, she leapt again purposely in order to complete a dare given to her by her friends. Luckily for her, she escaped without any broken bones, however, she was made to wear a lot of scrapes as she had bruises all over her body. After that incident, author Rush decided that she will never engage in such activities again.

Rush learned how to drive as early as when she reached the age of 12. In spite of living near a good freshwater beach, author Rush rarely goes for swimming as she fears dark water irrationally. One thing that Rush feels bad about for not having done in life is attending a concert. Author Rush’s was upbringing was such that she wanted to become an Egyptologist. But, as she grew older she realized how much she hated the desert. This compelled her to look for a different career path and eventually, Rush went on to become a full time writer. When she was in the 4th grade, Rush won her very first writing award. Since then, she has been creating stories and putting her imagination on paper. So far, it has worked out quite well for her. She hopes to continue doing this for the rest of her life and establish herself among the top writers of the young adult genre. During her spare times, author Rush likes to enjoy her coffee, read books, and do photoshop. Other than the young adult books, Rush has penned a story for the middle-grade readers. It is called as Bot Wars and has been written under the pseudonym of J.V. Kade. Author Rush has stated that fiction has always interested her more than reality. This made her spend most of her teenage years writing about vampires and other forms of fiction. As soon as she discovered this genre in her life, it did not take much time for her to get hooked to it. And after so many years, she considers herself lucky and feels blessed that her life has turned out this way.
