She writes cozy paranormal mysteries as Jessica Arden, including Once Ghosted, Twice Shy, the first in the Ghosted paranormal cozy mystery series.

She’s also working on non-fiction projects for writers, writing as Jessica Arden Cline. 

Jessica has stomped grapes in her native California, hiked 350 miles on an ancient pilgrimage route in Spain, had breakfast with a coatimundi in Costa Rica, and spent the night in a monastery.

But wherever life takes her, her true north will always be with her husband and two energetic boys.

Jessica loves connecting with fellow readers and writers and building community wherever she goes. She has been a member of many writing organizations and currently serves on the board of Capitol Crimes, the Sacramento area chapter of Sisters in Crime.

As a neurodivergent writer and mom to two neurodivergent boys, Jessica is fascinated with brain science, strategies to help others with similar neurotypes, and how ADHD affects girls and women.

When she’s not writing, you can find Jessica teaching, crafting, or hyperfocusing on her latest research obsession. Jessica’s short fiction has appeared in Woman’s World as well as multiple anthologies.
