About Jessica:
Jessica Bayliss, author of YA thriller, TEN AFTER CLOSING, and YA horror, BROKEN CHORDS, is a clinical psychologist by day and a writer all the time. She has been a lover of thrilling and spooky tales since her days scanning VHS rental shelves—admittedly with eyes half-averted from the gory covers. In the psychology world, she has more than twenty years of experience and training in the cognitive-behavioral model. She’s a psychotherapist, a teacher, and a researcher. A life-long lover of scary tales, she also loves to eat, cook, and exercise—in that order—and is a firm believer that coffee makes the world a better place. She is a Senior Editor for Allegory Magazine, the PAL Coordinator for the Southern New England SCBWI region, and info on her services for authors can be found on her website, www.jessicabaylisswrites.com. Jessica is available for Skype Visits, Workshops, and talks about her books, writing, and related to her PsychWRITE workshops and webinars. For media kits, see the individual pages for each book. |
