Jessica currently lives in Irvine with her husband and two young sons. From 2005 to 2006 Jessica was fully immersed in the Chinese language as she attended National Taiwan University, and in 2008 she graduated from San Diego State University magna cum laude. In 2003, Jessica attended California State University Long Beach where her passion for language found her studying Chinese, and in 2005 she moved to Taiwan to study abroad. Her mother, the local English teacher, inspired her to do all things artistic, and ultimately instilled in her a love for language. In this town of nearly 100 residents, with no streetlights or grocery stores, there was little to do but find ways to be creative. Jessica spent most of her life in the small town of Chilcoot, California, high up in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Her award-winning stories can also be found in a published anthology of flash fiction. Her trilogy has been translated and sold through major publishers around the world, such as Editions AdA (Canada), EditionsMilan (France), and SharpPoint Press (China).Īside from her Children of the Gods series, Jessica is the author of a kid’s picture book called, The Loneliest Whale. Book one in the series, Oppression, became a Barnes & Noble best-seller shortly after its release. Jessica Therrien is the author of the young adult series Children of the Gods.
