Author Jessica Lunt
As a child, Jessica loved reading fantasy books, her favorite authors being Robin McKinley, Philip Pullman, and J.R.R. Tolkien. Now she gravitates towards historical fiction of all kinds, where she finds the hidden stories of the past can be just as fantastical as tales of dragons and magic.
She is currently querying her novel, A Whisper in the Mountains, a historical women’s fiction book based on South Tyrol’s katakombenschulen — the secret catacomb schools during the 1920’s period of Fascist Italy.
Jessica grew up in Arizona, but since becoming a military spouse, has enjoyed living the nomadic lifestyle. When not writing, she takes advantage of exploring whatever part of the world she’s in by napping with cheetahs, racing through the DMZ, and singing the U.S. national anthem in front of the original Star-Spangled Banner, among many other things. But her four young children weren’t truly impressed with her until she wrote a book.
