THE KINGDOM OF ORION
MEET THE AUTHOR Podcast: LIVE - Episode 163
Originally aired  Wednesday JULY 3,2024
Featuring Author JESSICA HARTSFIELD.
ABOUT JESSICA: Jessica Hartsfield became an author, adventurer, anthropologist, philosopher, artist, and historian with the goal of helping others create peaceful, fulfilling, and balanced lives. Her first series, the sisters three saga, hopes to provide lovers of mystery and mysticism a way to absorb the beauty and pain of life through the magic of connection, understanding, and love.
PMP certified, with a BBA in International Business, and an MA in Intercultural Relations, Jessica created Maven Source International, LLC in 2021 after 15 years in the corporate world, a consulting organization that assists groups in "Developing their Present to Brighten their Future", and also launched the Essential Elements of Life, a program designed to assist humans in "finding balance and creating peace."
The 'sisters three saga' is her first attempt in sharing her imagination with a wider audience, and the first success of her many attempts to finish a story. In her words, becoming an author is, "a dream come true" and she looks forward to many more years of striving to be excellent in this craft. Outside of work, Jessica spends as much time as possible having intellectual debates with her soul mate, working on books two and three of the Sisters three saga, clogging with the 'just for kicks' cloggers of Roscommon MI, gardening, exploring, and spending time with the goats, chickens, dog, cats, and woodland creatures on their constantly under construction hobby farm in Northern Michigan.
