Jess Haven has been writing professionally since she was old enough to drink, but she misspent most of her early adulthood crafting everything except fiction. These days, when she isn’t writing mysteries or talking to her cat, you can find her getting lost in a forest preserve, scorching a new recipe, boggling her friends with slightly inappropriate and overly obscure puns, or snagging the last slice of peanut butter pie. She’s grateful that her family doesn’t mind conversational gambits like “How long can a human survive without sugar?” and “What’s a good name for a chicken?” You can find Jess at www.jesshaven.com.
