Official front cover

Jennifer Osuna Ausa

This is for my mom because it’s her birthday today! Happy 78th Birthday, Mommy Linda in heaven!

My mom was a 5th-grade teacher, and she had a reputation for being quite strict, which made many of the students think about skipping grade 5. I saw my mom’s hard work and dedication to her teaching profession.

During that period, she was raising alone her five children, as my father was overseas. After doing laundry, she would prepare our food, and then she would work on her lesson plan at the same table where we had our dinner together.

I really admired her resilience and hard work, and that might be why I kept exploring what I could bring to the world.

This cover reveal brings a mix of emotions for me, as my mom won’t be able to hold my book, but I truly appreciate all of you, my wonderful readers, for your support on this writing journey.

Thank you, and please save a room for another book on your bookshelf.

A time to choose

Jennifer Osuna Ausa

It’s the time of the year once again when we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. This year gave me so many blessings, and for that I am grateful. Life is not always without challenges and setbacks. Our chance to improve ourselves is in our own hands; use it. I decided to be productive and completed my second fiction book, which was a significant accomplishment for me. I plan to continue writing until my creativity ceases to produce compelling stories for my readers.

Just like me, I wish that whatever you choose for yourself will make your life content.

As for the season of giving, please give me a minute of your time to choose which one of the three designs you prefer for my second book front cover. Thank you so much.

Summer, then Fall

Jennifer Osuna Ausa

As we welcome Fall of 2024, let’s not forget the adventure we had last summer. I was fortunate to spend some quality time with my family. We explored Salt Spring Island and celebrated my brother’s 50th birthday in Las Vegas, which I promised not to visit again during the summertime. The intense heat made it difficult to fully appreciate the surroundings. But overall, it was a wonderful vacation for the family.

On every trip I took, I made sure to bring Revenge Mistaken along and introduce it to people. I had a chance to show it after we took some photos and it was such a rewarding experience when people took notice. This year marks the second year of my book’s publication, and the book continues to sell to this day.

It was not easy to be a self-published author. The hardest part is to have constant book sales. Continuous marketing, whether through social media or face-to-face interactions, is essential. The only powerful weapon I had was perseverance and believing that one day this book would make it to the actual bookstore shelves and display racks.

I hope you all had a wonderful summer and enjoyed the beautiful colors of fall.

Thank you to all who got a copy of Revenge Mistaken!!!

As a local author

Jennifer Osuna Ausa

I got invited to my local Richmond public library’s inaugural Writers for Readers event a week before spring arrived. It was my first time being invited as an author, so I was both overwhelmed and terrified at the same time. Before my book was released nearly two years ago, I had no prior experience interacting with readers in public. I was surprised to get the email from the librarian, and I remember I was gasping for air. Both excitement and fear filled me, but in the back of my mind, I knew that this was a great opportunity for me to interact with the public and get experience.

As a risk-taker, I responded to the invitation with a lot of questions. I want my first public appearance to be remembered. When the big day finally arrived, I never would have imagined that I would be calm, and I relished every second of setting up my table. Nine was my table number. Even though I was in the corner, I never felt excluded because I got to speak with the guests who came to my table as soon as the event began. And seeing my book on the library shelf was awesome.

The best part of the event was that I shared the experience with my nieces, Charlene and Jasmine. They silently supported me from the sidelines during the entire event. I was grateful that they came to join me, and I hoped they could continue my legacy. I have no children of my own, but I dedicated every word in my book to my family’s next generation.

And when I sold my first signed book for the day, it hit me that I have a community that is very supportive of authors like me.

Finally, I’m part of the Richmond community. Thank you for inviting me!

GRATEFUL FOR THE NEW LIFE EXPERIENCE. It was the start of a new beginning.

MY BOOK IS FICTION, BUT THE EMOTION IS REAL!!!

  • Enjoy last few weeks of summer

    Summer is nearly at its end, and I am prepared to embrace autumn, my favorite season. Some people feel fall is the start of withering leaves, cold weather, and lots of rain in Vancouver, but I always thought autumn was the start of reflection and reevaluating my life journey. As the leaves turn vibrant shades…

  • Someone took a chance on me

    Available at Steveston Bookstore, Steveston Village, Richmond Selling a book by an indie or self-published author is challenging. Most of the books sold were online or at webstores. I contacted local bookstores in Vancouver and Richmond for my 2022 book, “Revenge Mistaken,” but most had no room for it. On April 16, 2025, the release…

  • I made it happen

    This is it! I’m finally holding the physical proof copy of my second book, “Fate Unshaken.” Now that I’ve received it, I can’t really put my feelings into words. Personally speaking, I thought I only had one published book in this lifetime, which is Revenge Mistaken (2022), available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc. However,…
