Fractious Fairy Tales

Born in Chicago, Jessica Palmer's life was profoundly shaped by her mother's career as a professional clown. With a nursing degree, she initially worked in hospitals before transitioning to psychiatric nursing, where her rapport with patients flourished. Her diverse experiences led her to write for educational television and technical writing in health and safety, even becoming a British subject. An accomplished author with 28 published works, including award-nominated fiction, she now focuses on satire, with her latest short story collection, Other Visions of Heaven and Hell.
