J. R. Hatchigan

J. R. (Jess) Hatchigan writes mystery novels with layered characters, a bittersweet edge, and a quiet ache beneath their twists.

Hello, my name is Jess and I write fiction.

I have always turned to words – for work, for wonder, for a way through. First it was as a journalist, then as the author of two children’s books that found their way to shelves via HarperCollins. A long chapter followed in the towers of Fortune 500 companies, crafting speeches and shaping stories for others. Now I’ve circled back to my creative roots with my debut mystery novel, The Man Who Was Like a Dog with a Bone. When not writing, I’m off to wander – through books, through long afternoons that smell of coffee and possibilities, and through the seasons on nature trails yet to be explored – always alive to the small, glimmering details that make stories sparkle.
