I love a story that sounds to me like a song.” Jypsy Lynn “Jenny is a talented wordsmith who knows how to be creative and brazen with her thoughts and think outside of the box. I adore how Jenny took risks with Ruby Moon and decided to put a twist on a much-loved genre…” The Red Headed Book Lover “It does not always happen but when it does it feels miraculous. I’m talking about when you read a book and you are immersed in it. I started to read the first page… and when I got to the last page, I closed the book and held it to my heart.” Linda McCutcheon, book blogger and reviewer Blue Moon “Knipfer creates a strong sense of place, and she draws on her own experience with MS to depict the course of Valerie’s illness with great sensitivity.” Wisconsin Writers Association “Blue Moon continues a well-written and highly engaging saga of family ties, betrayals, and heartaches. A must-read for historical drama fans everywhere.” Readers’ Favorite, five-star review “In Blue Moon, the author tells a breathtaking story of twins Vanessa and Valerie. Page after page, the author masterfully weaves other exciting characters into the story…” Ksenia Sein, author of Agape & Ares “Knipfer continues to welcome her readers into Webaashi Bay… back into the town and characters we fell in love with in Ruby Moon, the first book in this series. I am confident you will love this book just as much –if not more –than the first. For in this book, Knipfer has woven an entrancing tale we all need to hear.” Amazon review Silver Moon “Silver Moon is a highly recommended read for fans of historical wartime fiction, powerful emotive drama, and excellent atmospheric writing.” Readers’ Favorite, five-star review “I am stunned by the amount of detail the author gave in this single story. On one hand, we have powerful characters… and on the other, we have a plot that demands all our attention. Jenny Knipfer pulls no punches and holds nothing back.” Readers’ Favorite, five-star review “This story felt comfortable for a first-time reader to the author, more like being welcomed by new friends. The setting, a time of need, camaraderie and survival, brings the large cast and reader together. Ultimately, Silver Moon is a story of forgiveness, second chances, prayer and patience.” Wisconsin Writers Association “Silver Moon is very highly recommended for readers who want a compelling inspection of love, duty, and battle based on historical fact, but flavored with the struggles of very different characters intent on not just surviving but creating a better future for themselves.” D. Donovan, Midwest Book Review “Taking an original angle on a tumultuous time in history, Silver Moon by Jenny Knipfer is a sparkling slice of historical fiction. Rather than focusing solely on the violence of this tragic conflict, Knipfer fleshes out the complexity of wartime… a thought-provoking and surprising work of historical escapism.” Self-Publishing Review “Not a light-hearted read, this book will engulf your senses, evoking the deepest and highest of emotions as you cheer and cry for the survival of dearly loved characters.” Kathryn V., Goodreads review Harvest Moon “As in her prior books, Jenny Knipfer does an outstanding job of cementing place, time, and culture against the backdrop of evolving relationships. These approaches lend a solid feel of authenticity and attraction to her plot to keep readers both educated and engrossed, as spiritual and social matters evolve.” D. Donovan, Midwest Book Review “Wielding descriptive language and unexpected imagery, this narrative transports a reader with ease. Harvest Moon is a moving, authentic, and original work of historical fiction, while this series is a testament to Knipfer's skilled and versatile storytelling.” Self-Publishing Review “Harvest Moon by Jenny Knipfer is one of the best books I have read in 2020. In fact, it is probably one of the best historical fiction novels I have ever read. I have come away deep in thought, feeling somewhat like I’ve had a mystical experience and one I will never forget.” Viga Boland, Readers’ Favorite, five-star review “The author created the perfect atmosphere for her story to truly bloom and progress. I would highly recommend this historical fiction novel to anyone who loves reading stories with intricate plots and powerful characters.” Rabina Tanveer, Readers’ Favorite, five-star review “Knipfer creates her characters with
