JESSICA KAYE appearing at Charm City Odyssey

Jessica Kaye has been creating stories since childhood. She is a self-taught writer, honing her craft every day to release the characters from her imagination onto the page. Her novels are driven by adventure—with a healthy dose of romance.

As an artist, Jessica’s mind is always busy: Reading and writing, painting, sculpture, embroidery, and designing escape rooms or scavenger hunts for her family. She’s always experimenting and discovering new things to try and loves to find creative solutions to challenges. She has experienced the truth of the saying, “Art does not exist in a vacuum,” and draws inspiration from the creative community and the world around her.

Her first novella is a young adult fairy-tale retelling of “Rapunzel,” and the second is a parallel novel entitled “Rapunzel’s Prince.” Her most recent novel, “Operatives Attract,” is a young adult secret agent adventure.

Born and raised in an American military community in Germany, Jessica moved to Florida at age 17 and earned a Bachelor of Fine Art degree from the Ringling College of Art and Design. She now lives with her husband and two children in central Florida.

Jessica has written human interest stories for the local newspaper, but her first love will always be fiction. See what else Jessica is up to at Jessicakaye.net
