I write stories about fairytales and fiery souls. I spent my childhood a little like a Lost Girl, running barefoot through lush green jungles which inspired my award-winning Peter Pan retellings, DUST and SHADOW.
I’m also the co-founder of the Author Conservatory (authorconservatory.com) where I have the honor of teaching young writers to craft sustainable author careers.
You’ll find me with my toes in California sand as a SoCal resident, belting Broadway show tunes on weekend drives to Disneyland with my delightfully-nerdy husband, or chatting about my love of magic and mayhem on Instagram at @karaswansonauthor. -

Besides her love of storytelling and her deep obsession with her perfectly quirky little family, Jess is an avid reader, proud introvert, collector of awkward moments, shameless people watcher, international café loiterer, and perpetual student.
