An Australian-native, Jessa Hastings now lives in Sherman Oaks, California with her husband, two children, her cat and a dog that she semi-regrets getting. She feels guilty writing that here but is fairly confident he won’t read it. She is presently exasperated by the US medical systems (but who isn’t?), she’s also knee-deep in Stranger Things theories and is an aspiring water-connoisseur. She still misses Australian breakfasts, tans very well and highly recommends the Coconut Cake from Erewhon. She still (obviously) struggles to write a topically relevant author’s biography and Magnolia Parks: The Long Way Home is her third novel. Sorry for this.
