Here’s more information about Jessica Carnevale Forcier
Jessica is a former Study Abroad Advisor who escaped the world of academia to write full-time and is loving every second of it. Jessica has been a writer for as long as she can remember and one of her earliest memories is writing a story about an opera singing thief! It became a family favorite, and solidified her passion for writing.
As an adult, she continues to entertain audiences with spunky characters and memorable tales. It is her sole mission to take nuggets of the human experience and weave them into engaging stories that leave readers both entertained and inspired.
Jessica’s song writing approach is to shine a spotlight on the skeletons in your closet and the heartaches that haunt your soul. Each lyric sounds as if it was ripped from a page out of a secret diary. Always relatable and certainly unforgettable.
A lifelong poet and music lover, Jessica only recently began her foray in lyric writing. She received Honorable Mention in her first ever song writing competition, and two of her songs achieved semi-finalist status in the International Songwriting Competition. Jessica’s song Accidental Lie was a finalist.
Jessica loves the ocean, sipping sangria from mason jars and the fading art of creating mix cd’s. She’s a sucker for “quirky” humor. Julia Donaldson is her idol. She proudly considers herself a pop culture aficionado and despises when food items become trendy. Most importantly, Jessica is a fervent believer in following your dreams.
