Jesilou (Jes) Tongio is an indie author from Toronto, Canada. She draws inspiration from her former life as a hardcore hockey fan and sports journalist. She's happiest in her cozy, all-white home office, surrounded by her mechanical-keyboard collection, twinkling fairy lights, and the subtle glow of lilac-purple smart LEDs. Break the Ice is her first novel, which she had originally written when she was 15.
