I write the Do It Yourself home renovation mysteries for Berkley Prime Crime and the Cutthroat Business mysteries for my own gratification. The DIY series is written as Jennie Bentley and the Cutthroat Business series as Jenna Bennett. Starting in July 2012, I will also be writing a series of futuristic romances for Entangled Publishing. 

Personally, I'm a former Realtor® and home renovator, as well as a former bank teller, airline employee, bed & breakfast reservations agent, travel agent, tour manager, waitress, and receptionist, and currently a full-time, bestselling author. I live in Nashville, Tennessee, with a husband, two boys, and a bunch of pets.

Maria,
so sorry! I did get it, yes. And I fully intended to reply, but then life got in the way. Briefly, I'm not sure it would be the best idea for me. A lot of the people here are self-publishers. I'm self-pubbing a series too, but I'm also traditionally published. Most of my work I can't share since it's being published by other people. And to be honest, I'm not sure I see exactly how you'd be able to help me. I already have a career up and running. And no offense, but the writers you cited as examples of successful Wattpad authors are all people I've never heard of. If you think I'm wrong, feel free to try to convince me otherwise, but from where I'm sitting, this isn't something I can do. Sorry. :(

Hi Jennie! I hope you're enjoying your Wattpad experience. I sent you a note a couple of weeks ago regarding a possible partnership but haven't received a response yet. I just want to make sure you got it?

Thanks!

Hi Jenna,

Welcome to Wattpad.  Jolyn mentione to me about you.  Your book covers look awesome I like how simple it is with color and yet very chic :)

Looks like you write romance and mystery?  Sorry I have not checked out your works yet, but that's what I gathered through your story titles and About Me :)

We hope that you will have a great time here on Wattpad.  We have a very vibrant community on here.  The more you interact with others, the more fun you will have :)

So happy wattpadding.
