Jess L. M. Anderson grew up with a deep love for storytelling, crafting her first narratives through writing competitions and short films in her hometown of Red Bud, IL. Her passion for storytelling became a powerful outlet during her teenage years and early 20s, helping her navigate personal grief and life’s challenges.
A graduate of DePaul University with a Master’s in Cinema Post Production (2019), Jess rekindled her love for writing after a professor praised her original story ideas and encouraged her to pursue them further. One of those ideas was Mercy’s Light, a story Jess first began developing at the age of 12. This creative spark led to the completion of several projects, though it wasn’t until 2020 that Jess decided to follow her childhood dream of becoming an author.
After receiving multiple offers for traditional publishing, Jess chose the indie route, finding empowerment in the creative freedom it offered, and the support of her family, friends, and a growing community of followers on social media under her handle, stressinabox. Her debut fantasy novel, Mercy’s Light, marked the beginning of The Source Keepers series, bringing to life a richly immersive world and earning her a devoted readership.
Today, Jess resides in Tifton, GA, where she continues to expand her literary worlds, blending vivid imagination, heartfelt themes, and a lifelong passion for storytelling.
