Jessica’s motto is: Adventure first, then write!

She is a dedicated homeschooling mother of five, journalist, author, and backyard chicken farmer. Her titles include Reclaiming Femininity, The Magic of Trees, Homeschooling on a Budget, Walk Your Path, and more.

Despite being a walking oxymoron factory: dyslexic-writer, maternal-tomboy, conservative-Pagan, Jessica loves everyone. She runs American First Magazine and writes for Mid Rivers Newsmagazine, the Right Side Broadcasting Network, and Witch Way Magazine.

In addition to never sitting still, Jessica is an America First Constitutionalist, avid Free-Speech advocate, and current member of the Saturday Writers group.
