Jess G.

What I do when I'm not in the library:
I crochet odd things like Tom Baker Dr. Who scarves, scribble in my journal, run in the park and have fun rock climbing occasionally.

My passion:
I love stories. Reading them and writing them. Especially middle grade books and poetry.

Something unique about me: 
One of my poems rode around on buses in Northern Virginia under the name Jess E. Stork.
