What are others saying about Her Part to Play?

“A charming debut. Erlingsson hits the mark with this fun Hollywood-meets-the-South tale of love and healing and finding purpose.”

— Rachel Hauck, New York Times bestselling author

“Jenny Erlingsson’s debut novel delves deep into the faith of a Hollywood actor and a makeup artist. As they develop a tentative friendship, Erlingsson weaves redemption, grace, and love so masterfully, the reader will reach the end before they’re ready to. I’ll remember the gospel truths and this sweet romance long after the last page.”

— Toni Shiloh, Christy Award–winning author

“Erlingsson unspools in her charming debut an endearing romance between a down-on-her-luck make up artist and the actor who once got her fired…This promises more good things to come from Erlingsson. ”

Hello Friend!

Thank you for stopping by my online home. When I’m not ministering with my viking husband or mothering my four feisty kids, I scribble down words in the pockets and margins of my day.

I write diverse and deeply rooted, romantic Christian fiction and I’m also the author of creative and Bible-focused non-fiction. My prayer is that the  words I share encourage, sweetly entertain and ultimately cultivate Christ-Centered Identity, Intimacy, & Influence. My debut novel, Her Part to Play, releases through Revell Books June 18, 2024. You can find out more info HERE

I’m grateful to write, minister, and connect from my Icelandic seaside village. Over here—and anywhere else you find me—I hope to keep things real and authentic. Join me on this deeply rooted journey by signing up for the list below.
