Jess

by Joli

Occupation: Middle School English Teacher

City: St. Petersburg, FL

Preferred Genres:

Young Adult Fiction
Contemporary Fiction
Classics
Mystery

Reading Habits: 

As a writer, I love to immerse myself in stories. I read to learn, paying attention to the author’s writing style and word choice. Life hasn’t been the easiest for me, and books provide an escape from reality. I love laying outside in the sunshine with a good book while my dog runs around barking at every squirrel he sees. You’ll often find me curled up in the hammock in my living room with a book in one hand and a cup of tea in the other!
