Jessica Barberi is a debut novelist, mother, and IT professional who discovered her passion for writing while searching for a certain type of story to share with her children.

As a lifelong lover of fantasy lands and adventure, she set out to create a world that was both transportative and yet relatable, hoping to show readers a path forward in the face of adversity.

"Fire from Ashes" was born from Jessica's desire to craft a tale that would captivate her son and introduce him to the kind of hero she longed to see more of in fiction.

With its richly imagined world and themes of perseverance and personal growth, the novel is a testament to her belief in the power of storytelling to inspire and empower.

When not writing or working , Jessica can often be found exploring the great outdoors with her family, seeking new adventures and inspiration in the natural beauty of her home near the Great Lakes.

"Fire from Ashes" is the first book in a planned series, and Jessica is excited to continue bringing her unique vision to life in the pages of her novels.
