Greetings and salutations!
My name is Jennifer Estep, and I'm the author of the Elemental Assassin urban fantasy series and the Bigtime paranormal romance series.
n The Elemental Assassin series focuses on Gin Blanco, an assassin codenamed the Spider who can control the elements of ice and stone. When she's not busy killing people and righting wrongs, Gin runs a barbecue restaurant called the Pork Pit in the fictional southern metropolis of Ashland.
The city is also home to fire and air elementals, along with giants, dwarves, and vampires. The first book in the series, Spider's Bite, will be released on Jan. 26, 2010 by Pocket Books. The second book in the series will be released in June 2010, with the third book to follow in October 2010.
n The Bigtime books feature sexy superheroes, evil ubervillains, and smart, sassy gals looking for love. Romance, action, adventure, superheroes, explosions – the books have something for everyone. Titles in the Berkley series include Karma Girl (2007), Hot Mama (2007), and Jinx (2008).
I hope you'll take a few minutes to look around the site and learn more about my books. Enjoy!
Latest news and information
n 2010 – The Year of Gin: My new Elemental Assassin urban fantasy series will kick off with the release of Spider's Bite on Jan. 26, 2010. Since the next two books in the series will be released in June and October, I've dubbed 2010 as "The Year of Gin." All three titles will debut in mass market paperback. I'll post more information, including cover art, as it becomes available. Stay tuned for more!
n The third Bigtime book: My latest release is the third book in the Bigtime series, Jinx, which came out in September 2008. The first two books in the series, Karma Girl and Hot Mama, were also re-released in 2008 in mass market paperback form with new covers (shown on this page).
n Cheers for the Bigtime books: The reviews are in, and Bigtime is a big hit! Here's what folks are saying about the books:
"The superhero du jour in this smokin’ sequel to Estep’s debut (2007’s Karma Girl) is flame-wielding Fiera, a member of the souped-up supergroup the Fearless Five, based in Bigtime, N.Y. ... Feverishly clever plotting fuels Estep’s over-the-top romance."
"It’s back to Bigtime, N.Y., for more sexy, sizzling and offbeat adventures with those zany superheroes. Fiona’s first-person viewpoint reveals a tough, cranky yet caring heroine whose literal flash temper can raise hell. Estep’s twist on the world of superheroes is kick-ass fun!" 4 stars
"Snappy and diverting."
"Chick lit meets comics lit in Estep's fresh debut ... A zippy prose style helps lift this zany caper far above the usual run of paranormal romances."
"Secret identities and superpowers take on a delightful and humorous twist in Estep's exciting debut, written in the first person. Fun and sexy, Estep's caper demonstrates how revenge can backfire. Here's hoping for more Bigtime adventures from this impressive talent." 4 stars.
