Jessica Murray lives and writes in Missoula, Montana, where she is raising two fine strapping lads.

She got her start as an opinion columnist in her husband's award-winning weekly newspaper; she then decided that writing might be a real job after all and is currently finishing up a creative writing degree at the University of Montana.

When she is not writing, Jessica obsessively reads about histories and mythologies of religions, and dreams of the day that she will quit her day job.
