A Sorrow Fierce and Falling

Jessica Cluess wears many hats in her life's narrative. A proud graduate of Northwestern University, she proudly flaunts her unabashed nerdiness. Her journey led her to the bustling city of Los Angeles, where she not only brewed coffee for the elite but also embarked on her maiden novel-writing adventure. Beyond the realms of literature, she dons the role of an instructor at Writopia Lab, igniting the storytelling passions of children and adolescents.

For Jessica, daylight is a rarity, as she often finds herself ensconced in dimly lit rooms, fervently crafting stories and, occasionally, hissing at the ever-present sun. Los Angeles, with its abundance of sunshine, seems like the ideal city for such a pastime.

During her childhood, Jessica dabbled in skateboarding, but her list of noteworthy achievements in that department remains succinct. High school saw her shunning the cool crowd, opting instead for the intellectually stimulating atmosphere of Advanced Placement classes. College finally offered her a sense of belonging, as she found a like-minded tribe who reveled in Eddie Izzard's stand-up concert, 'Dressed To Kill.'

Post-graduation, Jessica's professional journey took her through a series of eclectic odd jobs. She graced Texas stages as Cinderella, moderated a radio news site, and even served coffee to the renowned Orson Scott Card. Somewhere along this unconventional path, there might have been a stint with a secretive agency like the NSA, but details remain hazy from that sketchy time.

Throughout these tumultuous years, Jessica Cluess penned numerous literary endeavors, with the early ones leaning toward the not-so-great side. However, her dedication and collaboration with friends gradually yielded pieces of work that could be considered more than just 'okay.' With hope in her heart and a passion for storytelling that refuses to wane, Jessica continues to pursue her writing journey, one chapter at a time.
