Jessica’s motto is: Adventure first, then write! When not running around exploring life, she chases multiple versions of herself (5 Kids) and feeds animal babies. She is also the author of "Reclaiming Femininity," "The Magic of Trees," "Homeschooling on a Budget," "The Magic of Nature," "Walk Your Path," "The Golden Rule," and more . Despite being a walking oxymoron factory: dyslexic-writer, maternal-tomboy, conservative-Pagan, she loves everyone and works for the Right Side Broadcasting Network, Mid Rivers Newsmagazine, and Witch Way Magazine. She is an America First Free-Speech advocate and current member of the Missouri Writers’ Guild and Saturday Writers groups.
