Jessika Fleck

Jessika Fleck is a writer, unapologetic coffee drinker, and knitter -- she sincerely hopes to one day discover a way to do all three at once. Until then, she continues collecting vintage typewriters and hourglasses, dreaming of an Ireland getaway, and convincing her husband they NEED more kittens. She loves writing novels for young adults and her work verges on fantastical and dark with a touch of realism.

She is also a regular contributor to the fantastic kidlit blog, The Kidliterati. Jessika has lived all over the U.S. from Hawaii to Vermont, but currently calls Illinois home. She lives there with her sociology professor husband and two daughters where she's learning to appreciate the beauty in cornfields and terrifyingly large cicadas.
