Jenny Elder Moke

Jenny Elder Moke is a bestselling author of mystery and young adult fantasy fiction works best known for the Samantha Knox series. Before she became a novelist, she worked in Austin, Texas, at an independent publishing house before she realized that she loved writing the manuscripts rather than reading them. Moke studied writing under Liz Garton Scanlon before she gained enough confidence to start writing. For some time, she wrote in just about any genre format and even made the final shortlist for the 2017 Austin Film Festival Fiction Podcast Competition for Target her podcast script. She is a member of the Texas Writer’s League and when she is not penning her bestsellers, she can be found trying to hone her martial ars skills in Tae Kwon Do or gathering inspiration from her daily adventures. Jenny currently makes her home in Austin, Texas, alongside her husband and two children.
