Jessica Barberi is an emerging novelist, mother, and IT professional who discovered her passion for writing while searching for meaningful stories to share with her children.

As a lifelong lover of fantasy lands and adventure, she set out to create worlds that are both transportative and relatable, weaving tales that show readers a path forward in the face of adversity.

The "Fires of an Empire" saga was born from Jessica's desire to craft stories that would captivate her son and introduce him to the kind of heroes she longed to see more of in fiction.

With richly imagined worlds and themes of perseverance, personal growth, and the triumph of light over darkness, her novels are 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.

Having completed three novels in the series, Jessica continues to expand her unique vision through her writing, bringing new depth and excitement to her carefully crafted fantasy world.
