Born in 1974, Jess Walker is a Canadian writer of young adult literature. His books tend to read like an action movie - a non-stop adrenaline rush full of adventure, danger and mystery. He resides in Toronto Canada with his wife and three young. Before writing he experimented with various occupations in the great outdoors: a beach lifeguard, downhill skiing instructor, windsurfing instructor, and personal trainer... But his favorite job is the one he is doing now - writing action.
