For Jessica Tagbajumi, writing was an imaginative expression—a creative escape from the chaos around her as a teenager. In July 2019, she published her first novel, Wings of the Night Sky, an African fantasy novel for young adults, showing them they are bigger than their fears. That was just the start for Jessica. She has published novellas, anthologies, and comics. Jessica is enthusiastic about writing more novellas and collaborating with more writers. She is not afraid of expressing her imagination on paper. The characters and stories in her head always come to life in a way that has you awed by the myriad of possibilities.
