Jenn Kelly lives just outside of Ottawa, Ontario, in Canada. She has lived here forever, with the exception of some years living in small towns. She failed English Honours at the University of Ottawa, but got her CFT (Certified Forestry Technician) at Lakehead University and her Arborist Certificate at Kemptville College. Which has absolutely nothing to do with writing.

The second Jackson Jones book, which Jenn has just completed, will be out in the summer of 2011.

Jenn gives a super-fantastic presentation for schools called "When to Use Boogers, Vomit, or Stinkybutts." She adores chai lattes and pumpkin decaf soy lattes.

Sometimes Jenn pretends she’s a garden gnome.

Sometimes you have to get lost to figure out where you're going. All Jackson wants is to be the hero, for just once in his life. The hero who steps in at the last minute to save the universe. The hero who saves the entire village from a raging fire.

Great Aunt Harriett is always telling Jackson to find his own story, but so far his story doesn't seem very exciting. Until he falls into Great Aunt Harriett's hair, that is. There, Jackson will encounter a world of elves, trap doors, bubblegum-blowing birds, hairy-backed spiders, kangaroo meat, and perilous danger that requires ... a hero.
