Here you will find swoony no-spice romances with heart, humor, and high stakes.
They may also include misadventures, mythologies, and mistaken identities.
Jes Drew is the author of 50+ books including the Cursed Fae of Orphydice Manor Series, the Sunset at Dawn trilogy, Love of Legends, Bound by Death, An Enduring Hope, and Trapped by Death.
She has three degrees, including a Master of Arts in Behavioral Counseling. A gremlin that resembles a cat keeps her busy when she's not writing about hard-won happily ever afters.
My stories unfold in a small multiverse of worlds. Here is what to expect from each one and which books are portals to which worlds.
This is a version of our own world where mortals, fae, and primordials live in their respective realms. History and mythology entwine in ancient landscapes where familiar legends unfold with a twist or two.
In this world, battles wage for the fate of empires, bargains are struck between desperate souls, and brides are sacrificed for peace.
Both Love of Legends and Cursed Fae of Orphydice Manor are set in this world. Find out more on their respective pages.
This is a Medieval world primarily run by a Holy Empire ruled by a dynasty that possesses the most powerful magical bloodline on the continent. Mortals and elves live together in an uneasy peace. Vampires and werewolves lurk in the shadows, but even more nefarious are the rumors of gysts from another world.
There are many tales from those who live in this world: royals, nobles, mercenaries, monsters, soldiers, rebels, and peasants. Sunset at Dawn and the Constantinium Standalones record these stories. Find out more on their respective pages.
I have two fairy tale worlds.
One is an paranormal version of our world where vampires, werewolves, fairies, and merfolk live in the shadows of human society. The Howling Twenties is set in this world.
The other is a steampunk version of our world where Great Britain controls most of the map, but there is still magic hiding in the corners. The Clockwork Faerie Tale Novellas is set in this world.
Find out more on the Fairy Tales page.
I also have two contemporary worlds.
In one, Agent Jesse resides. He works tirelessly to help protect the world from global threats and to train young spies toward that end. The Ninja and Hunter, Castaways, Dystpian Takeover, and Summers of Yesteryear trilogies are set in this world along with While You Were Campaigning.
In the other world, it is Kristian Clark who is the world’s primary protector . . . except when he is its greatest threat. The two Kristian Clark sagas, Legends of the Master Spy, and The New ESE Files are all set in this world.

"To be sixteen is to have troubles, but Emily has more than her share: distracted parents, PTSD flashbacks, sudden uprootings to new states and new countries. But when a series of calamities maroons her on an uncharted island, she will learn what trouble can be. In Castaways, Jes Drew combines contemporary YA with the old fancy of a desert island harboring mysteries. Through the first-person narration of its young heroine, the book achieves a memorable and entertaining tone. A current of Christian belief runs through the story, and an innocent romance dominates many of the pages."

“Normal life and romance are difficult enough for a secret agent, but time-traveling doppelganger girlfriend-wannabes who use futuristic weaponry were not covered in the training courses. Jes Drew's The Bachelor Missions follows our hero, Kristian Clark, through three separate but connected espionage adventures with plenty of romantic difficulties. Because these stories are set in the real world, characters plainly discuss Christianity and some common arguments for and against the faith. Still, God-talk and two conversion scenes remain light in favor of the stories' light and humorous tone—like Men in Black but without the aliens."
