Jessie received her BFA from Stony Brook University, and is the author of The Turning Tides Series, a fantasy romance duology about merfolk in the modern world. She has presented at the Water Priestess Online Confluence, Bewitching the Waters Online Symposium, and is a social media creator under the alias “Fablepagan” across most social platforms.
