Brief description: Talia Beckett, formerly known as Jess Mountifield, was born in the quaint village of Woodbridge in the UK, has spent some of her childhood in the States, and now resides near the beautiful Roman city of Bath. She lives with her two tiny humans and near an amazing group of friends who support her career and life choices. During her still relatively sort life Talia has displayed an innate curiosity for learning new things and has therefore studied many subjects, from math and science to history and drama. Talia now works full time as a writer and a mummy, incorporating many of the subjects she has an interest in within her plots and characters. When she's not busy with work and keeping her tiny humans alive, she can often be found with friends, playing with miniature characters, dice, and pieces of paper covered in funny stats and notes about fictional adventures her figures have been on.
