About the Author

Jessica Pack

When Kensington Press picked up her first national women's fiction novel, As Wide as the Sky, Josi Kilpack was in need of a pen name to differentiate between her other genres. For years, Josi has been called Jessica Pack by people who hear her name but don't know her. It made her new pen name easy to choose. Josi hated to read until her mother handed her a copy of The Witch of Blackbird Pond when she was 13. From that day forward, she read everything she could get her hands on and credits her writing "education" to the many novels she has "studied" since then. She began writing her first novel in 1998 and has written twenty-five novels, one cookbook, and been part of multiple collaborations. She is a four-time Whitney Award winner and Best of State winner in Fiction. Josi currently lives in Willard, Utah, with her husband and children.For more information about Josi or her books, please visit her website, www.josiskilpack.com.
