  • What kinds of books does Jessica Crichton write?
    Jessica writes middle grade speculative fiction chapter books for ages 7-12. Speculative fiction, which Jessica likes to call "obviously fiction", includes the genres of fantasy, science fiction, horror, steampunk, and the like.
  • My kid LOVES a particular book from Jessica. Will it become a series?
    Jessica loves writing series. Chances are if a book has no other titles currently set in its universe, it will soon enough. And if you or your children are fans of a particular title, please feel free to let her know!
  • Who is Jessica's illustrator?
    Jessica Suzanne illustrated Jessica Crichton's "Guts and Glory" books, however she has since gone quiet online and there is currently no known way to contact her. Jessica herself illustrated "Tipani Walker and the Nightmare Knot", as well as designed and illustrated all of her own current covers.
  • Where are Books 2 and 3 of "Guts and Glory"?
    Book 2, "The Counterfeit Zombies of Noc", will be available soon! Jessica has had to remove it from circulation for important revisions so that it flows better with Book 3, "The Diminutive Defenders of Noc", which is also in the works. Book 1, "Dr. Fixit's Malicious Machine", also went through these revisions, and is now available once more in its far better format. Jessica apologizes that it is taking some time to finalize the trilogy, however she wants the books to be their very best for you! For now, please feel free to keep up to date with her progress on the series through her Facebook page.
