J.M. Kiss

Author

Jessica is a great many things! But her favorites are wife and mother as you will learn as you read her books. Her family inspires her. Besides her boys she has many ‘kids’ that call her mom and her love for them is just the same as if they were hers. Her arms are always open to be a safe place for love and care. Her table always has food to fill each belly. And her home has been a place of rest and peace. Her stories shine lights on struggles that many kids face, ones that adults often overlook. It has been her mission to sit with those in their storms and weather it alongside them, from that many of her books took root.

She wrote her first book as a poem and thought nothing of it. She stuffed it away and forgot it existed. After her family moved it was unearthed in the unpacking, 16 years after it was first written. It was then she saw the possibility of a children’s book. But it wasn’t until 2021, 3 years later, when she suffered a head injury that stopped her life that she embarked on the journey to become an author. Once that decision was made, stories began to come alive before her.
