Jenna Glass wrote her first book—an “autobiography”—when she was in the fifth grade. She began writing in earnest while she was in college, and she proceeded to collect a dizzying array of rejections for the first seventeen novels she completed. Nevertheless, she persisted, and her eighteenth novel became her first commercial sale. Within a few years, she became a full-time writer and has never looked back. She has published more than twenty novels under various names, but The Women’s War marks her first foray into epic fantasy.
