A Bit About Jack…

 Jack is an author, which is why she spends much of her time writing and little of her time editing. She likes to follow characters around and tell their stories even if they don’t tell her everything they know about their stories.

She lives alone in a Hobbit hole and spends her spare time with her nose stuck in a book. When she isn’t doing that she is busy baking bread and annoying her neighbors with bagpipes.
