Author & Artist Jess L. M. Anderson

Author & Artist Jess L. M. Anderson Fantasy Author and Artist located in Tifton, GA who loves sharing the world of The Source Keepers. Jess grew up with a love for storytelling.

The tears of my readers make me stronger.
100% Human Creativity - No Generative AI Used From a young age, she was entering writing competitions and filmed short videos with friends and family in her hometown of Red Bud, IL. She used her love of storytelling as a way to cope with the grief she experienced in her teenage years and early 20s. She began writing as her main form of expression in 2015

with the encouragement of her family and late friend Cloe Beck. After losing Cloe, unexpectedly in 2017, Jess stepped away from her writing to focus on obtaining her graduate degree. Following her graduation from DePaul University in 2019, where she completed her Masters in Cinema Post Production, she began using her free time to write again. This was after a professor voiced how much he enjoyed the original story ideas presented in his class. He encouraged her to pick up the keyboard again and bring them to fruition. One of those ideas was Mercy's Light, which she had been working on since she was 12 years old. In that year Jess completed several projects that she shelved for the future, but in 2020 she decided it was time to follow her childhood dream and publish her work. ​

With the support of her friends, family, and the followers of her social media accounts under stressinabox, Jess has found herself ready to take that leap by self-publishing her debut novel Mercy's Light which has led to the continuation of the Source Keepers Series. Today, Jess resides in Tifton, GA, where she works on her novels in her spare time as she continues the series.
