Hello!
My name's Jessica. I'm a 21-year-old college student studying to become an elementary school teacher and reading specialist. Ever since I can remember, I've loved reading, writing, and history. Back in elementary school, I discovered the genre of historical fiction through stories from the Dear America and Royal Diaries series. From then on I was hooked.
I love reading historical fiction because it's the closest thing I have to time travel. Through books, I can go back in time to faraway places. I've been to Versailles, ancient Rome, and Renaissance Florence... all from the comfort of a cozy corner of my couch. I write historical fiction for that same reason. Through writing novels, I transplant myself into the story. And I love the intimacy that comes with getting to know these characters who have chosen me to tell their story. Historical fiction takes a tremendous amount of research, but being the history-geek that I am... it's all part of the fun!
For now, I'm focused on my education. I pick up historical fiction novels as often as I can. And in my spare time I sit down and write my own historical fiction novels. But for the time being, becoming a published author is only a distant fantasy. I hope someday that dream will come true!
Amore.
