About Willow Wren Books
Welcome to Willow Wren Books, the home of my two pen names. Let me give you a glimpse into what this literary hub is all about.
Elena Jagar
Elena is an Award-Winning author of THE RAINBOW WEAVER'S APPRENTICE for middle-grade readers.
Elena's writing spans several genres, and she believes that a good story is made up first and foremost of great characters, ones that are relatable and interesting enough to stay with the reader long after the book is closed. She hopes her young readers come away from her books feeling that nothing is impossible.
When not writing, Elena enjoys horseback riding, tai chi, smelling the flowers, and petting bumblebees. Currently living overseas teaching English, Elena looks forward to having a garden and a menagerie of pets when she finally settles down in one place.
Tessa Kelly
With a background in teaching and a degree in French, I've spent several years immersed in the unique atmosphere of uptown Brooklyn. Drawing inspiration from my experiences, I create novels that reflect the vibrancy of the neighborhoods, cafes, and coffee houses. Having worked in a bakery, much like the one featured in my novels, I developed a lasting fondness for cheesecake brownies. Beyond writing, I'm an avid explorer of hiking trails, passionate about baking, learning foreign languages, and experimenting with natural plant dyes.
