Jessica Russell is the pen name of Jesse Broadt, a professional web content writer who specializes in travel. Passionate about history, the author is an avid reader of both historical fiction and nonfiction history books. Throughout her life, she was inspired by authors such as Victoria Holt, Phyllis A. Whitney, and Belva Plain, and strives to create the same kind of multidimensional, entertaining characters that readers can relate to, understand, and ultimately enjoy. A professional singer at one time, the author refers to words as "music of another kind," and hopes they are felt that way by her readers. Broadt lives in the southeastern United States with her husband Dan, who she has been married to since 1987, and Frosty and Snoodle, her faithful, purring companions. She loves music, reading, traveling, and simply enjoying the sights and sounds of nature.
