Award-winning author and speaker Jenny L. Cote, who developed an early passion for God, history, and young people, beautifully blends these three passions in her two fantasy fiction series, The Amazing Tales of Max and Liz® and Epic Order of the Seven®. Likened to C. S. Lewis by readers and book reviewers alike, she speaks on creative writing to schools, universities and conferences around the world. Jenny has a passion for making history fun for kids of all ages, instilling in them a desire to discover their part in HIStory. Her love for research has taken her to most Revolutionary sites in the U.S., to London (with unprecedented access to Handel House Museum to write in Handel’s composing room), Oxford (to stay in the home of C. S. Lewis, ‘the Kilns’, and interview Lewis’ secretary, Walter Hooper at the Inklings’ famed The Eagle and Child Pub), Paris, Normandy, Rome, Israel, and Egypt. She partnered with the National Park Service to produce Epic Patriot Camp, a summer writing camp at Revolutionary parks to excite kids about history, research and writing. Jenny’s books are available online and in stores around the world, as well as in multiple e-book formats. Jenny holds two marketing degrees from the University of Georgia and Georgia State University. A Virginia native, Jenny now lives in Roswell, Georgia.

I went on to OCAD U and did 4 years to get my BFA. It was a fun experience... It wasn't until after graduation from OCAD that I started illustrating.It was easier to find what I really enjoyed making, without a constant flow of opinions from professors and peers...I needed to isolate myself.

I started by taking images of my friends, and have since began combining my own photography with found images. In almost all of my work, you’re not looking at one woman who actually exists. I make each girl with fragments of bodies and portraits. Working that way gives me the freedom to create an entirely new human being, and body shape. In any given image, you may be looking at the parts of 3-5 different people. I focus mainly on the female form, because it’s the perfect canvas.

I pull the images into Photoshop – and make what might be best described as"“Frankenstein’s Wife” – as I make a new person out of several people. Once I lay the groundwork for the body, I start on the hand drawing portion. Drawing details like the hair, pieces for the outfits, the feathers, the flowers, etc. which will later be digitally composited. For a lot of my recent work, I’m also adding a color portion, so i get to play around with water color for a while. I scan all of my hand work into my computer and play with composition until my eyes hurt, or notice I’m getting really thirsty...

I'm influenced by many eras. Predominantly the 80's and the 50's. My girls are fairly eclectic, with styles that really range. When I am working on a new series, I usually collect a hand full of images as influence. These images could range from 50's bathing suits, to 80's studded jackets, and anything in-between...
