2 A.A.C.S. Entertainment
About Us
2 A.A.C.S. Entertainment began as a podcast where moms discuss mom-life. Started in 2023, Jennifer (Mom of 2 girls who are now both mothers themselves) wanted to create something fun, occasionally informative, and often empowering to show other moms that they aren't alone when they feel like they're in the trenches. Lauren (Jennifer's youngest daughter, mother of two toddlers) offered perspective as not only a new mom, but as a mom navigating a very different parenting environment. From the woes of social media madness, to crazy health-trends, Jennifer and Lauren tackle it all on their podcast Don't Repeat What Mommy Says.
Not long after their show began, they began working on their debut novel, "Motherhood's a Bloodsport." This dark thriller was their first dip into the world of indie authors, publishing and marketing. The transition from author to editor seemed only natural to Lauren as she began expanding the services offered by their company. Understanding the plight of publishing on a budget, Lauren set out to offer affordable services so that new authors could tell their stories to the world.

As Authors
Jennifer ParnellMother. Survivor. Creator.
Jennifer first imagined Motherhood's a Bloodsport nearly 30 years ago, during one of the darkest times of her life, escaping an abusive marriage and fighting to rebuild her world. She envisioned a woman like herself: someone who didn't just endure, but struck back when pushed too far. Writing longhand during breaks at her day job, Jennifer poured raw emotion onto the page, trauma, resilience, and the fierce instinct to protect her children. Her lived experiences became the backbone of Norma's character: a mother who refuses to be prey.Today, Jennifer is not only a survivor, but a creator of stories where women rise, fight, and win. This book marks the fulfillment of a promise she made to herself decades ago: to turn pain into power.
