Drawing on her Greek roots and family history, she brings to life powerful untold stories of women who endured hardship, sacrifice, and survival.Her latest novel, Athena: Twirls of Unsettled Dust, is inspired by post-World War II Greece and the immigrant journey to Canada is a vivid historical fiction saga of strength, selflessness, and determination.

In the classroom, she used rhyme and rhythm to strengthen phonemic awareness and literacy, blending entertainment with education. Many of her teaching materials are still used in Canadian schools today.Jessie is also the author of the provocative adult nonfiction work What if Canada Became the 51st State? A bold exploration of North American politics, identity, and culture. Her writing invites readers to think critically, question assumptions, and imagine new possibilities.Now retired from teaching, Jessie lives just outside Montreal with her husband, Chris, who remains her first audience for every new story.
