Jess Mountifield was born in the quaint village of Woodbridge in the UK, spent some of her childhood in the States, and now resides near the beautiful Roman city of Bath. She lives with her husband, Phil, her two tiny humans (one boy and one girl), and her very dapsy cat, Pleaides. During her still relatively short life Jess has displayed an innate curiosity for learning new things and has therefore studied many subjects, from math and the sciences, to history and drama. Jess now works full-time as a writer and mom, incorporating many of the subjects she has an interest in within her plots and characters. When she's not busy with work and keeping her tiny humans alive, she can often be found with friends, playing with miniature characters, dice, and pieces of paper covered in funny stats and notes about fictional adventures her figures have been on.
