Jessica Freely can't resist a wounded hero. As a reader and a writer, her favorite stories are of soul mates finding redemption in each other's arms. Married to the love of her life in a beautiful relationship based on mutual goofiness, Jessica also warps minds as an instructor in Seton Hill University's Writing Popular Fiction MFA program. After publishing three mainstream science fiction novels, Jessica discovered gay romance. She's been a devoted reader and author of the genre ever since. Jessica loves the outdoors and during the warm Michigan summers she likes to kayak, bicycle, swim, and walk. She's been a practicing Buddhist since 2005. Lifelong residents of the metro Detroit area, Jessica and her husband have never lived more than two miles from Woodward Ave. They share their home with a large cat and a tiny dog. (The dog is in charge.) They've been members of the same role-playing gaming group since high school. It still meets weekly.
