Coming Soon

Born and raised in Louisiana, Jessica Chandler writes spooky, but not-so-scary young adult fiction. Feeling the need to escape her small, rural town, she attended residential college preparatory school the Louisiana School for Math, Science, and the Arts where she began truly honing in on her passion for writing. She then went on to graduate from Hendrix College (no relation to the musician) with a Bachelor’s in Psychology and from Louisiana State University with a Master’s in Human Resource Education.

After graduation, Jessica moved to Lafayette, Louisiana, which is seated in the heart of Acadiana in south Louisiana, aka Cajun Country. (Laissez les bons temps rouler, y’all!)

She’s worked as a civil servant since January 2018 for a state licensing board where she can be most likely found in the kitchen conducting culinary experiments. She’s a firm believer that cooking for yourself can be its own form of self-care, something she feels her collection of tattoos serve as well. Fun fact: she has a tattoo of a cat dressed as Purrlock Holmes. Her pair of anxiety ghost tattoos remind her of her mission to write characters that reflect the representation she needed when she was growing up, focusing on mental health and asexuality.

GET GHOSTED is her debut novel inspired by all the “what if” questions surrounding losing her soul cat to cancer and wondering how safe someone would play it if they got a second chance at life.
