Jess Mowry was born near Starkville, Mississippi and raised in Oakland, California by his single father. After dropping out of 8th grade, he worked many jobs, including driving trucks and operating heavy equipment in Arizona, engineer aboard a tugboat in Alaska, and maintaining C47 cargo airplanes. He also worked at a children's refuge in Haiti. Returning to Oakland in the late 1980s, he worked at a children's center and began writing stories for the kids. After one of his stories was published in ZYZZYVA, a San Francisco-based literary magazine, in 1988, he began seeking publication for his other works. His first book, a collection of short stories about Oakland kids, titled Rats In The Trees, was published in 1990. His first novel, Children Of The Night, also about Oakland kids, was published in 1991. His second novel, Way Past Cool, was published in 1992. Since then he has published twenty novels, which have been translated into eight languages. Jess Mowry lives in Oakland, California.
