Jenny Milchman is an American author of suspense fiction. She spent more than ten years writing unpublished novels before her debut, Cover of Snow, was released in 2013 by Ballantine Books. That persistence became part of her public story, and she has written and spoken about the long road to publication. Her books are set in small, isolated communities where the landscape itself feels like a threat.

Milchman lives in the Hudson Valley region of New York, which has influenced the wintry, rural settings of her novels. In addition to her standalone thrillers, she launched the Arles Shepherd series in 2024 with The Usual Silence. She is also a member of International Thriller Writers and has organized large-scale book tours across the United States.
