Despite a grade school career aptitude test that indicated farming
would be her best bet, Jessa always knew she wanted to be a writer. Her
early works include "My Poems," a poetry chapbook rampant with unicorns
and misspellings, and, later, a torrid teen cowboy romance which her
editor-mother asked her to revise and resubmit, changing the love scene
to "soul mates."
After close to a million final draft words and
nearly triple digit rejections, she sold her first novel, an urban
fantasy romance, to NAL Signet Eclipse.
