Jessica’s Shadowlands New Adult / Dark Fantasy / Horror - four book series - begins with Eternal Night, continues with Shadow Cast, Dark Ascension, and ends with Dragon Slayer. In Eternal Night, Julia, a lonely young woman, meets Jonathan, a strigoi. She must make the decision to remain human or follow her heart and become strigoi herself. In Shadow Cast, Jason watches his world crumble and falls into darkness, rising again as a strigoi. In Dark Ascension, Julia faces the temptation of power and the threat of an obsessed, Wild strigoi. In Dragon Slayer, Julia must reconcile her differences with Jason in order to save the family...and herself. Featuring complex family dynamics worthy of day-time drama, The Shadowlands follows the journeys of three young people into the world of the strigoi.

Jessica has always had a taste for the supernatural. At a young age, she expressed an interest in vampires that resulted in her removal from the Brownies! The interest persisted (although a career in the Girl Scouts was quite out of the question), and she began to write her first novel, Eternal Night, at the age of 13. More novels followed the first, and Eternal Night saw its first printing in 2000.

Jessica credits her Sicilian grandmother's stories of the old country as her earliest source of inspiration. Tales of ancient crypts, eyeless corpses, and headless factory workers were told while sitting around the kitchen table sipping coffee. Today Jessica is a mother who tells stories to her own child, (more subdued than those of her grandmother), but has kept her love of the supernatural alive by watching scary movies, melodramatic Netflix shows, and reading endless amounts of slightly disturbing novels in her spare time.
