Dream Demons, Dark Romance & the Jennverse Web: Jenn Bullard Spills Everything

If your characters started haunting your dreams… would you write faster or sleep with the lights on? 😈📚This week on Blush, Kelly and Branden dive headfirst into the beautifully chaotic brain of author Jenn Bullard, where stories intertwine, emotions run wild, and mental health is treated with the nuance it deserves (because, as Jenn says, “mental health is not linear”—and neither is this episode).From her sprawling, interconnected Jennverse series (yes, TWELVE books and counting 👀) to her fearless exploration of dark romance themes, Jenn takes us behind the curtain of her creative process—where ideas don’t just knock politely, they kick the door down and demand to be written.

We promise.You’ll hear how Jenn’s identity, lived experiences, and unapologetic honesty shape her characters, why her writing schedule might secretly be powered by caffeine and cosmic chaos, and what’s coming next—including her upcoming appearances at Heathens and Heartbreakers (bring your TBR list and emotional support snacks).✨ Expect:Tangled timelines and interconnected storytelling magicDark romance with depth, edge, and real-life triggersA refreshingly honest take on mental health in fictionWild tangents, cheeky games, and a round of Put A Finger Down that escalates quickly The comforting realization that even prolific authors are just figuring it out as they goWhether you’re a writer, reader, or just here for the chaos, this episode is equal parts insightful, unhinged, and deeply human.📌 Action Items (because we’re productive like that):Follow Jenn Bullard for upcoming releases and eventsDive into the Jennverse and prepare to get emotionally entangledTake a moment to reflect on how mental health shows up in the stories you loveHit play, fall down the rabbit hole, and maybe keep a notebook nearby… your dreams might start writing back. 🖤
