When not running around exploring nature, Jess chases after multiple versions of herself & feeds furry babies. She’s also the author of the highly anticipated upcoming release, The Magic of Nature, as well as, Walk Your Path, The Golden Rule, and many more. Her writing has won numerous awards. She’s a current member of the Missouri Writer's Guild & SCBWI. She works mostly with children's stories & non-fiction, but a little spec fic. As a dyslectic Pagan, Jess loves all types of people, enjoys writing about spiritual issues, & the fun of a brain that works differently.
