Get to know Jess...
When did you start writing?
I honestly cannot remember! Like many writers, I’ve been since I was very young. I have just always loved stories - both consuming and creating them.
When and what and where did you first get published?
My first ever publication was a poem that was selected for a school poetry anthology when I was about 8. I suspect it was terrible. My first publication as an adult, however, was a story published in Lightning Flash Magazine in July 2011. Lightning Flash closed later that year, but happily the story was then reprinted in Mirror Dance’s Autumn 2013 issue.
What themes do you like to write about?
My stories are incredibly eclectic in both genre and theme. I’ve written everything from a steampunk retelling of the abdication scene in Richard II to a literary story about the occupation of Guernsey in WWII. Having said that, I do often return to explorations of the abuse of power and dogma.
