edit data

A.P.Jessett was born in Wiltshire, England, and raised in the adjacent county of Berkshire. At sixteen he put the idea of writing on hold, to gain some experience and maturity.

It took a while, as two marriages, children, and the need to earn a living took over. But the ambition remained, and Mother Earth blends his passion for the natural world with a keen interest in where humanity - perhaps at a defining crossroads in its evolution - goes next.
