Jessica Thompson

December 1, 2023 · In: 2026 Faculty

When Jessica started publishing, she hit the ground running with marketing her books, then spread to helping other authors promote theirs.

Now JESSICA THOMPSON is the author of the Amazon best-selling “Caterer’s Guide to Crime” series and “Shoot Shovel and Shut Up,” her award-winning classic mystery. She also runs virtual book tours under her alternate identity, Bittersweet Book Tours, proudly undercutting everyone else’s prices. She is active in her local writing community with the Messy Manuscript Society and volunteers as the Finance Chair for the Storymakers Guild.

Jessica lives in the suburbs of Austin, Texas with her husband and two children. When not writing or marketing, she’s getting her boots dirty at her parents’ nearby Longhorn cattle ranch. Whether she’s revving up chainsaws or wrangling charging bulls, she sees it all as plot-inspiring material for her next mystery.
