Welcome to my little corner of the literary world, where the forests whisper at night, where the darkness and the light are locked in an eternal battle, and where magic might just be real. I'm Jessica Natalie Reino, and I write stories that explore the shadows we all carry and the light we find within them. Inspired by my Italian heritage and growing up in New England, I am constantly developing new story ideas that not only raise awareness for those with invisible illnesses, but also promote kindness and the importance of physical and mental health.
From the time I was a little girl and my father told me to look for the dancing elephants on the front lawn, I loved using my creativity and imagination (but I swear I may have seen the elephants once and am still on the lookout). I always knew that my career would involve writing.

The Craft of Storytelling
I am a multi-genre author with a soft spot for sweet romance and the supernatural. As the author of the upcoming The Attuned series, I specialize in young adult fantasy that doesn't shy away from the darker corners of the human experience. My stories are about characters who face impossible choices, who struggle with their own shadows, and who ultimately discover that the magic they seek has been within them all along. Each book is a journey not just through fantastical realms, but through the complexities of growing up, finding identity, and understanding the power we hold to shape our own destinies.
Beyond the Page
Writing is only one facet of my work. As a developmental editor and writing coach, I've had the privilege of helping countless authors bring their own visions to life. There's something profoundly rewarding about working with writers at the beginning of their journey, helping them shape their raw ideas into compelling narratives that resonate with readers.
My approach to coaching and editing is rooted in the same philosophy that guides my own writing: every story matters, every voice deserves to be heard, and magic—whether on the page or in the process—happens when we're willing to dig deep and do the work. I believe in empowering writers to find their unique voice while mastering the craft that will carry their stories into readers' hearts.
