Author Bio:
Jessica E. Thomas became fascinated with storytelling at an early age while reading literature such as Shel Silverstein’s Where the Sidewalk Ends and Gertrude Chandler Warner’s Boxcar Children mysteries.
She wrote her first poetry book at age seven and continued writing poetry throughout her tweens and teens, convinced it would prepare her to write the Great American Novel. In her early twenties, with English degree in hand, she entered the real world where the job of spinning a dull yarn was surprisingly underappreciated as well as undercompensated.
Determined to eat, she entered the professional world of Marketing in 1997 and later transitioned to Information Technology. Despite spending most of her time talking to computers, she continues to write for human audiences as well.
