Hello, my name is Jennifer Nuñez. I am a mother, a wife, a writer, and a dreamer. I write about pain and love, longing and grief, identity and motherhood.​ I immigrated to New York from the Dominican Republic at a young age and have spent my life moving between these two places. These two places have shaped both who I am and how I write.​ I have written two novels. My first, In Case She Forgets Again, is loosely based on my life. It explores the pain I’ve carried, my doubts about identity, and the quiet, daily struggle to survive and make sense of my wounds. My second novel, Love, Feral, was born after I poured that pain onto the page and left it there. It is a story about grief, connection, and the bonds that hold all living things together.  This story is about a woman and a feral cat finding one another in the midst of deep loss.

I live in New York with my husband and two children. I am currently writing my third and most ambitious novel, The Board. The story about how ordinary decisions turn tragic.  A well-meaning board makes small, reasonable decisions about leaks, budgets, and complaints, never noticing how each vote quietly leads to tragedy. With dark humor and mounting tension, The Board reveals how catastrophe doesn’t storm the building all at once, it arrives politely, by consensus
