Jessie's Young Adult novel, At What Cost, has been released by Astraea Press.
Jessie Andersen grew up in Sinclairville, NY. All through middle and high school she wrote stories
and won writing contests, but in college her writing was essentially limited to term papers and
homework assignments. While teaching middle school, she began to read young adult literature.
She fell in love with the genre, and became serious about her writing.
Now working as a full-time writer and freelance editor, Jessie is a wife and mother, making
pies and entering baking contests. She volunteers at the local library leading a teen writers group
and serving on the board of directors. You’ll rarely see Jessie without a book in her hands, and that’s
the way she’d like to keep it.
