Jessie Mihalik is a romantic science fiction and urban fantasy author that is best known for the “Consortium Rebellion” and “Rogue Queen” series of novels. She published her debut work “The Queen’s Gambit,” the first of the “Rogue Queen” series of novels in 2018. “Polaris Rising” novel her debut novel was published in 2019 and became a bestselling title and the breakthrough she needed as an author. While she now considers herself an author, she started as a software developer having graduated from college with a bachelor’s in Computer Science. Even though she loves geeky things, she is now a professional author and pens her novels full time. When she is not writing her novels, she can be found reading books she gets from her shelves, trying out the newest board games or playing coop video games.

Jessie Mihalik has always been a voracious reader and cannot remember a time when she was not reading. Some of her earliest memories are checking out the huge stacks of books at her local library. A lot of the classics she read during this time included the likes of “The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy,” “The Dragonriders of Pern,” “Dune,” and anything she could find by Tolkien. However, her biggest influence was Ilona Andrews and the novel “Magic Bites” is one of the first that she read that made her want to become an author. She would later become friends with Gordon and Ilona who make up Ilona Andrews, even though she loved their works long before that. Her debut work “The Queen’s Gambit” first ran as a serial on her blog as she wanted to give her audience something while they waited for “Polaris Rising” to get published. She had already announced a novel in the works and since it takes up to two years for work to get published, she wanted something to keep them hooked. The novels of the “Rogue Queen” series are romantic science fiction works set in a universe where the land is devastated leaving people starving. The queen tries to save her people but things spiral out of control.

Jessie’s first career was as a software engineer and still wonders how she became an author given how different creatives tend to be from the logical engineer type. While it is a common belief that engineering is a left-brain type profession, she has asserted that some creativity is also required to work around limitations and find new solutions in engineering. She has always loved to read and been a creative person from her days writing fanfiction and hence the shift to writing fiction novels was a natural jump. Her first manuscript was an urban fantasy story and even though she binned it, it taught her a lot about relationship building, plot, and structure. It also got the attention of an agent who would demand the first three chapters of “Polaris Rising” immediately she heard that she had a new manuscript in the works. Since she loves all kinds of romance fiction from science fiction to paranormal and thriller, she thought it would be a good idea to include aspects of romance in her debut. However, while she had decided that only part of it would be romance once she started writing it became an all romance fiction work. Her novel is grounded in cool science fiction technology that is grounded in the growing relationships between people that desperately love each other but are still in denial about their attraction.
