About

Hello! I write YA fantasy under the name Jess E. Owen, and contemporary YA under Jessica Kara. I enjoy a background theatre and worked successfully in that industry for years, touring and having adventures in professional summer stock. I'm honored and excited to be a part of this society and to learn and grow with everyone here. My current indie book series, The Summer King Chronicles and The Dragon Star Saga, are upper MG/YA fantasy featuring animal characters. I'm also the author of A Furry Faux Paw, about a teen furry artist trying to escape her hoarder mother (Page Street YA), and Don't Ask If I'm Okay, about a young man struggling with grief over the death of his best friend (Page Street YA).
