Jenn Taber VanDerwerken, Neighbor

Jenn Taber VanDerwerken is a new mom living in Salem with her husband and 17 pound (and growing!) new boss. A former full-time and now freelance children’s book publicist, she devotes most of her time to crawling under the couch to look for lost pacifiers, and trying to blow raspberries half as well as her son.

Jenn likes cardigan sweaters, sharks, British sitcoms, Brussels sprouts, and Jackie Kennedy Onassis. She’s the only person you’ve ever heard of who hates mashed potatoes.
