Jessica Meigs

Jessica Meigs is the author of The Becoming, a post-apocalyptic thriller series that follows a group of people trying to survive a massive viral outbreak in the southeastern United States. After self-publishing two novellas that now make up part of the first book in the series, in April 2011, she accepted a deal with Permuted Press to publish the story as a series of novels. The first of the series, entitled The Becoming, was released in November 2011 and was named one of Barnes & Noble's Best Zombie Fiction Releases of the Decade by reviewer Paul Goat Allen. Five more novels followed.

In 2019, Jessica began self-publishing again, this time exploring a new universe with the Unnaturals series, in which a group of government-employed agents discover that the wheels of the Biblical apocalypse are in motion and they're the only ones who can stop it.

In late 2020, after obtaining the rights for the series back from the publisher, Jessica began reissuing the Becoming series in revised and expanded editions. The new editions of the series are available now on all major eBook retailers, with new novels in the series coming soon.

Jessica lives in semi-obscurity in Demopolis, Alabama. When she's not writing, she works full-time as an editor, copyeditor, and proofreader. She can be found on a variety of social media platforms and on her website at jessicameigs.com.
