Tina Jens
Tina was born in Iowa City, Iowa, and raised along the banks of the Mississippi River
in Ft. Madison, IA. She has a degree in Mass Communication from the University of
Wisconsin-Milwaukee. She moved to Chicago in 1989, where she lives with her
husband of 15 years, Barry; her guinea pigs; and her Japanese fighting fish, Not Dead
Yet. Their condo is filled with gargoyles, teddy bears and herb plants, in approximately
equal numbers.

She's a writer, producer, editor and performer. Her writing spans the genres from cat
mysteries to fairytales, classic ghost stories to gory horror, hard boiled noir yarns to
humor that will tickle your funny bone.
Tina Jens is a two-time Bram Stoker Award nominee (given by the Horror Writers
Association) for short fiction in 1999 and producing the Twilight Tales reading series in
2001. She  has produced Twilight Tales, the live weekly reading series, for eight years.
And she serves as the editor of the Twilight Tales line of anthologies. With fourteen
books out so far, they've garnered two additional Bram Stoker nominations for short
and long fiction.

Her work has appeared in more than forty publications, including: Outre, Filmfax and
Milwaukee magazines, the comic book "Scandals," the non-fiction text Writing Horror,
the RPG book Fragile Path, and the Ottumwa Courier, Ft. Madison Democrat, West
Point Bee, Donnellson Star, Burlington Hawkeye and Keokuk Daily Gate newspapers,
