about me

I am a self-published author working toward discovering the perfect balance between the forty-hour work week, family obligations, domestic duties, writing novels, and learning to blog ( I have a sneaking suspicion that it comes with ditching the forty-hour work week).

I love my husband Dirk, my two four-legged 'children' Yoshi and Hutchins, and German motorcycles.

favourite books

1. Anything by Jodi Picoult
2. The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck
3. The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver
4. The Twilight Series (a serious guilty pleasure)

A Matter Of Conscience

Jennifer Schipper

Could you shun your child to appease your God?


What if you were told to forgo a life saving medical procedure forbidden by your religion, would your faith hold?

Caden Ryan has been excommunicated from his religion and subsequently kicked out of the family home. As a result, his mother, Rebecca finds her maternal instincts to protect her child conflicting with her religious doctrine to spurn him.

Rebecca's personal struggle incites the ire of her husband, a zealot with no qualms about forsaking his loved ones in the name of his God.

Tragedy strikes a the height of the family conflict. Personal priorities are called into question as each individual is forced to challenge their core beliefs in a life or death situation.

Enjoyable read. Happy to back this. I did come across a handful of miscellaneous grammatical errors in the first two chapters that need to be cleaned up, but nothing serious. Cheers and good luck with your writing, Jennifer -A MATTER OF CONSCIENCE- view book

Change 'so I've got to ask myself one question' to 'So I ask myself one question' (removes the passive) 2.Consider changing 'Ca... view book

Wow! What an opening chapter you have! Husband kills wife. Gruesome. I love to find books that open with so much action. Happy to back this. I do however have a handful of constructive criticisms that you may or may not want to consider, some personal, some grammatical. 1. Watch for a couple sl... view book

I read your first chapter and found it very interesting. Your pace is good. Your writing is strong. Happy to back. Two constructive critiques you may or may not want to consider. First, lose the exclamation point. Secondly, I'm afraid you use far too many adverbs. I'd suggest you remove as many as ... view book

Happy to back after reading the first four chapters. I like how every chapter (thus far) ends with a sort of cliffhanger to entice the reader to read on... one small nit, the sentence in Chapter one that ends '... all the things that Boots now supplies' is present tense when the rest of the book is ... view book
