Jess took years to decide what she wanted to do for a career. She tried it all—retail, civil service, and even corporate—before finally finding her true passion in writing.

Even though she still has a 9-5 job, her debut novel, Secrets and Smugglers, is almost ready for release, and she can’t wait to share it.

With a little bit of luck, one day she might be able to make this a full time career and have the time to write all the stories floating in her brain.
