about me

I'm a stay-at-home mom living in Bettendorf, Iowa with three crazy children and one psychotic cat. When I'm not writing young adult books, I tend to my website/blog, called Moms are from Mars: a teen girl's guide to weird mothers. I hope to be published one day. If you cross your fingers, toes, and eyes for me I'd be much obliged. Seriously.

As for critiquing, I'm out of the game for a little bit, trying hard to finish my latest book. I'll let you know when I can start participating again. Til then, I'll just be bopping by every now and again. Thanks for understanding!

A Kiss to Remember

Janene Murphy

Michael and Catherine are lovers who come back lifetime after lifetime. Problem? Catherine doesn't know it. She needs A KISS TO REMEMBER.


Unfortunately for Michael, it's a task that’s grown more difficult over the years. He fears this is their last chance together.
When Michael sees Catherine on the cover of Seventeen magazine, his heart quickly rises, only to fall moments later. Sure, he found her, and in record time, too. But there’s a bigger problem: He’s just a high school senior from Wichita, Kansas, and she’s Hollywood’s hottest teen sensation.
While Catherine struggles with celebrity, Michael struggles to get near her. Ditching Julliard and his dreams, he follows her to U.C.L.A., setting them both on a course that may lead them to each other – or push them apart forever.
Entitled, “A Kiss to Remember,” this 55,000 word young adult fantasy explores love, longing, and the fight to follow one’s heart.

I can see you have a very interesting story to tell that is close to your heart. The beginning does start slow, with a little too much detail about the house. I would condense that to make things move more quickly. The first chapter also seems choppy to me. The flow is much smoother after that. The... view book

You had me at David Sedaris. I like your voice here. Very fresh, funny and intimate. The character is very interesting, too, hooking the reader right away. The only concern I have is that the fluidity from chapter to chapter could be better. Pick a style and go with it. Regardless, you kept me en... view book

Oh, this is deliciously funny, though it does tend to leave a bad taste in your mouth :) Seriously, great work here. Kind of wish you didn't start off with a description in a mirror, but other than that it's very fresh and. fun. I like your descriptions and humor, and you're writing his solid. Gre... view book

Elle- I'm on a tight time line, so I only read the first chapter. I'll quickly give you my thoughts: You have an absolutely terrific command of the language. Beautiful word choice and imagery, great dialogue, everything really flows. I had to laugh at your 'now with less adverbs!' You've obviously... view book

Mel- I just read the first three chapters. I think you have an interesting plot that starts off with a bang (pun intended) and your writing flows smoothly. This is good work, but I have to say I've got a problem. I don't like the main character. Given she just lost her partner, you'd think I'd be... view book
