Jenna Levin lives in San Diego with her husband of nearly 17 years. Like her hero, the late actress and author Carrie Fisher, she is a firm believer in staying afraid, but trying new things anyway, using humor to deflect from awkward situations, and destigmatizing mental illness. When she’s not working, writing, or caring for cats she’s got to put through college (and they don’t want to go to a state school), you can find her knitting, reading, baking, or hiking.
