Ep. 323: Jess Montgomery on the Troll Dolls Stuck in Your Writing Couch

Jess Montgomery is the author of the Kinship Historical Mysteries, set in 1920s Appalachian Ohio and inspired by Ohio’s true first female sheriff. Under her given name, she writes the “Level Up Your (Writing) Life” column for Writer’s Digest. She is a three-time recipient of the Individual Excellence Award in Literary Arts from Ohio Arts Council, a two-time recipient of the Montgomery County (Ohio) Arts & Cultural District (MCAD) Artist Opportunity Grant, and has been a John E. Nance Writer in Residence at Thurber House (Columbus, Ohio). When not writing, Jess of course loves reading, but also spending time with family and friends, crocheting, watching film and television, swimming, spoiling her cats, baking, and occasionally hiking and fishing. Reach Jess via her website, www.jessmontgomeryauthor.com or her Facebook Author Page, @JessMontgomeryAuthorHow Do You Write Podcast: Explore the processes of working writers with bestselling author Rachael Herron.
