Praise for my work.

  • A woman with red hair styled in an updo, wearing colorful earrings and a light purple top, looking down. There is a table with a blue hydrangea flower, a water bottle, a book, pink high heel shoes with feathers, and a basket in the background, all against a light blue fabric backdrop.

    "Tessa has an amazing gift of expressing her emotions in writing so clearly that I felt tugged and pulled over and over again as I listened to her experiences."

  • A woman in a floral dress and a decorative hat holds pink lilies in a flower shop, surrounded by various plants and flowers, with a vintage cash register on the counter.

    "The novel strikes a great balance between sharp wit and genuine emotion. Jensen’s prose is rich and layered with satirical elegance. . .".

  • A cartoon girl with curly red hair adorned with flowers, insects, and toys, smiling with hands on her cheeks, surrounded by a teal background with confetti and star-shaped decorations.

    " . . . wonderfully captivating with a touch of eccentricity that keeps you turning the page."

  • A colorful houseplant scene painted as a window mural with vibrant purple, yellow, red, and orange flowers, and a woman watering the plants. Reflection of a person taking the photo can be seen in the glass.

    "This second novel really highlighted Tessa's ability to weave together a mystery, define characters, and paint delightful scenes . . . as well as alarming revelations. "
