Jessica Huntley

<p>Jessica wrote her first book at age six. Between the ages of ten and eighteen, she had written ten full-length fiction novels as a hobby in her spare time between school and work.</p><p>&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; At age eighteen, she left her hobby behind and joined the British Army as an Intelligence Analyst where she spent the next four and a half years as a soldier. She attempted to write more novels but was never able to finish them.</p><p>&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; Jessica later left the Army and became a mature student at Southampton Solent University and studied Fitness and Personal Training, which later became her career. She still enjoys keeping fit and exercising daily.</p><p>&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; She is now a wife and a stay-at-home mum to a crazy toddler and lives in Edinburgh. During the first national lockdown of 2020, she signed up on a whim to a novel writing course, and the rest is history. Her love of writing came flooding back, and she managed to write and finish her debut novel, <em>The Darkness Within Ourselves</em>, inspired by her love of horror and thriller novels, as well as complete the first in the series, <em>My Dark Self.</em> She has also completed a Level 3 Diploma in Editing and Proofreading and has worked with four other authors on a collaborative horror novel entitled <em>The Summoning</em>. &#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</p><p>&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; She is now working on two further novels in her spare time.</p>
