Jess was born in London, UK, in 1989, and grew up in Cheshire. She now lives in South Wales with her husband and children.

She has been writing since childhood, from stories scribbled in crayon to two self-published poetry books that are both unfindable and unforgettable for all the wrong reasons. No matter how hard anyone looks, they will never track them down (although Jess might one day release a few of the less cringe-worthy poems one day)

Her writing has always leaned towards the darker side of emotion, drawing vivid and honest feelings from her own experiences growing up.

Jess is currently studying for two Open University degrees: English Literature with Creative Writing, and Law. She is due to graduate in 2026. She has 8 diplomas in various subjects from Tudor History to Educational Psychology.

When she is not writing, Jess enjoys board games, murder podcasts, punch needling, and DIY projects, which she admits she is bad at but unstoppable in trying. She and her husband Simon have been married for two years and are saving for their honeymoon to Mexico. They hope to welcome a dog into their family once they move to a bigger house.

Her debut novel, Some Girls Drown, was published in 2025.
