ⓘ About Jill Conner Browne

Smart men and women understand that the sassy, bawdy, down-to-earth humor is just the vehicle by which the greater message gets conveyed. It’s one of self-reliance and empowerment, inspiring anybody and everybody to do whatever makes their heart sing. When Jill started writing, she didn’t realize that most books will never sell more than five thousand books, and have about a ninety day shelf life to them. She’s glad that nobody told her about this. If she had known about it, she would have been much too afraid to try. And while she didn’t know exactly what to expect, she didn’t about any of the bad, so she didn’t even know she should be afraid. Before Jill published the “Sweet Potato Queen’s Book of Love”, she’d written for newspapers for a long time.
