Growing up in the cold, rocky North, Jess Averill spent a lot of time minding her siblings, skiing, feeding cattle and carrying in wood. When she discovered Little Women, her life changed forever. Soon her imagination grew to include other times, other families, myths, legends, monsters and then the even more curious…love and sex.
At the age of seventeen, in an attempt to turn dreams into reality, she went South, ended up with a degree, and developed a taste for travel.
She now lives near the shore of the Great Lake Superior. Grape pies, handmade chocolates, bread made from hand-milled flour, amazing apples, orchards and cider, she enjoys the bounty of Upstate New York, living a life of lilacs, stunning trees and ice wine vineyards. She shares her life (and the stunning scenery) with her family and assorted pets. She believes love can be found by anyone, anytime, anwhere. She can be found wandering bookstores, libraries and museums, book in hand, plotting stories of such love and adventure.
