Jessica Cage is an International Award Winning, and USA Today Bestselling Author from Chicago, IL. As a girl, Jessica enjoyed reading tales of fantasy and mystery, but she always hoped to find characters that looked like her. Those characters came few and far in between. When they appeared they often played a minor role and were background figures. This is the inspiration for her independent publishing journey and the reason she focuses on writing Characters of Color in Fantasy. Representation matters in all mediums and Jessica is determined to give the young girl who looks like her, a story full of characters that she can relate to. Jessica has independently published over forty titles and has been featured in twenty different anthologies to date.
