About the author

Jessica Cotten

I live in the US, in central Pennsylvania, where the rolling hills inspire my creative endeavors. I write music, poetry, fiction and nonfiction. 

My poetry collection, entitled Sea Between, released in 2019 and my first novel, a speculative fantasy/sci-fi set in an alternate universe, is set to release in 2020. I contribute as a writer and poet to the Presence Project and the Clarion Journal of Spirituality and Justice. 

Being in nature, getting to know people, taking walks on mostly unpaved roads with my Australian Shepherd/Golden Retriever Pippen, and immersing myself in the goodness of the earth are all sparks for my creative process. I have certificates in both Herbalism (yes, I'm an herbalist) and Intelligence Collection (no, I'm not a spy), and a B.A. in Spanish and International Relations. In my past life, I was an ESOL teacher, a Spanish teacher, a creative director, and a tea server at a fancy hotel (though not always all at once). 

I hopes that my words offer the world a place to breathe and a sense of connection to the deeper meanings of life
