Jackie knew she wanted to write when a high school English teacher scolded her for writing a book report on a banned book. Jackie didn't know the book had been banned—or even that books COULD be banned. Now she does it all: fiction & nonfiction, 21 books & hundreds of magazine pieces, for kids, teens and adults. For 15 years she taught writing courses for the Institute of Children's Literature. Her early writing career began in Washington, DC, at the White House Correspondence Section—answering the President's mail. Jackie lives in the Finger Lakes wine region of upstate New York, deep in the woods where mushrooms form fairy circles.

Jessica Bayliss is a fiction author with a Ph.D. in clinical psychology who loves all things reading and writing. Author of the young adult horror novella, BROKEN CHORDS and YA thriller, TEN AFTER CLOSING, she has been a lover thrillers and ghost tales since her days scanning VHS rental shelves—admittedly with eyes half-averted from the gory covers. She also loves to eat, cook, and exercise—in that order—and is a firm believer that coffee makes the world a better place. In the psychology world, she has more than fifteen years of experience and training in the cognitive-behavioral model. She’s a psychotherapist, a teacher, and a researcher. One day it hit her: Why not combine writing and psychology? Just like that, PsychWRITE, her series of lectures, workshops, and coaching services for writers was born. Her blog features motivational posts for writers that combine her passion for writing with her love of psychology. She has authored thirteen novels and several short stories that appear in anthologies such as BEWARE THE LITTLE WHITE RABBIT, FRIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS, and ZOMBIE CHUNKS and in such literary magazines as Sanitarium Magazine. Jessica is a Senior Editor for Allegory Magazine. Member: ITW, HWA, SCBWI, RWA.
