A witch’s brew that gives both life and death, a contraband medicine injected beneath the skin, an acid delivered on the tongue as an unjust punishment, an elixir that transforms lives. Potions and poisons come in many forms, often perceived as one and the same, depending on your point of view.

A software engineer by trade, Jennifer Lyn Parsons is a life-long lover of story with a capital S. Her work has been seen in various magazines and she has published three books, with quite a few more in her back pocket. She counts Jim Jarmusch and Laura Ingalls Wilder as two of her biggest influences. Make of that what you will.
When not writing either code or fiction, she reads books and comics, and sometimes makes things out of wool or paper. She finds joy in making things, be they digital or analog.
