Today’s featured author is Jessica Julien, a YA fantasy writer and the creative force behind Three Drops of Blood.
✨ In Three Drops of Blood, readers follow Princess Lily, cursed to transform into a monster unless she finds a fabled mirror, and Lorelei, a siren desperate to restore her shattered soul. Bound in blood and tied together by twisted hope, these two women must fight fate, no matter the cost — or the blood spilled.
When she’s not penning dark and twisty tales, Jessica is a stay-at-home mom, wife, and owner of Desert Ink Editorial. She loves dark roast coffee, chocolate, road trips with her family, and has a soft spot for pie, pandas, and highland cows.
Other works include P.S. Jane, Christmas Donut, and A Spectacle of Souls (Circus of the Stolen).
📚 Meet Jessica Julien at the Scottsdale Book Festival on January 24, 2026, where she’ll join more than 200 authors, publishers, and exhibitors celebrating books and imagination.
