Jesse Petersen

Jesse's life as a writer began when her husband made the brilliant observation that she was much happier writing than doing anything else. So she took the plunge and decided to do that full-time. After many years and many books in different sub-genres, she was bitten by the zombie bug (not a zombie, but the bug) and took off on a zany adventure which culminates in the publication of the "Living With the Dead" series from Orbit.

When not coming up with creative methods of zombie disposal she lives in Central Illinois with her high school sweetheart husband and two cats.
