Jen Sullivan

Majoring in Business Administration
Southern New Hampshire University
From Lebanon, PA
I am a writer, a tech geek, a gamer, an animal lover, and a gardener. I have self-published four books over the past few years, including one memoir and three books in my fictional pirate series, "Pirate Ophelia." I enjoy writing as a way to release stress and wrote my first book in 2016 as a way to work through some mild PTSD. In 2020, I founded my own specialty retail business called "Addicted Geeks," which specializes in toys, games, and "geek" themed accessories. At this time it is really just a hobby and I only sell online and at local events, but I hope to someday open a brick-and-mortar location. In my spare time, I often enjoy playing video games, though I do occasionally quilt or crochet when I need a break from technology. I also enjoy fixing computers, but usually just for my friends and family. I am originally from York, PA and currently live in Lebanon, PA with my husband, my mother, and our pets.
