jessie fanczi latimer
debut author of Again Behold the Stars (Quill and Flame, 2026)
When seventeen-year-old Rigby Rhymes dies, she finds herself transported not to the afterlife, but into the pages of her favorite novel, Chance Golden and the Battle of Thornwell, where she must change the plot to prevent the brooding antagonist, Wick, from dying at the end. But when Wick learns he’s a fictional character, his actions threaten the existence of the entire story-world—and the fate of Rigby’s soul.
