Jennifer Rush
Jennifer Rush lives in a little town on the shoreline of Lake Michigan with her husband and two children. She grew up wanting to be an Egyptologist, but realized she hated the desert and declared herself a writer instead. She won her first writing award in the fourth grade (a Mickey Mouse pencil was the prize) and has been crafting stories ever since. In her free time, she likes to read, Photoshop, and consume large amounts of caffeine. Her debut YA novel, Altered, was published in January 2013. Her debut middle-grade, Bot Wars, was released in March 2013. It's written under the pen name J. V. Kade.
