Jennifer’s first book was Elliot and the Goblin War, which became the series The Underworld Chronicles. And then she changed to writing young adult and children’s fantasy books. It wasn’t very good and neither were her second, third, or fourth books.

But she got involved in local theater and school speech and debate competitions and didn’t write her first book until she was in her early 20’s.

When she discovered that the author of her favorite book, The Outsiders, was only 17 when it was published, she decided to be a published author even sooner. She has several stories from elementary and middle school, along with her poems and cartoons, hiding in a box in the back of her closet. She began writing in elementary school, producing her first full-length story when she was in sixth grade. She lives there with her husband and three children. Nielsen was born and raised in northern Utah. The second book, The Runaway King, continues the story, and the third and final book, The Shadow Throne, was released earlier this year. The False Prince is the first of book in the Ascendance trilogy. The story centers on 15-year-old Sage, a feisty and defiant orphan, who becomes a beguiling anti-hero. He will claim to have found the missing prince. Conner has two weeks to train the orphan boys and choose one of them to impersonate the prince. It is believed that Prince Jaron was killed by pirates, but his body was never found. Three orphans are recruited and trained, but only one orphan will be chosen for this dangerous impersonation plan. In order to unify the unstable medieval kingdom of Carthya where the royal family has recently been murdered, Conner, a nobleman, devises a plan to find an imposter to impersonate the king’s long lost son, Jaron, and install him as a puppet prince. 2014-2015 Winner - Middle School/Junior High Synopsis
