About the Author:
Jennifer DeRoss was born in San Jose, California, but spent most of her formative years in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas. Living without electricity until the age of nine, reading was a main source of entertainment and comic books were included in her reading materials right from the start. As an adult, she moved to Eugene, Oregon, and earned her master’s degree at the University of Oregon, where she studied comics with a main focus on the modern American superhero. Her other fields of focus include queer studies, television studies, and biographical studies. She is currently a proud mother of two boys and working as an instructional specialist at Lane Community College, where she is helping to develop and implement an early outreach and referral program to better ensure student success. In addition, she co-founded, and contributes to, the female-led fandom website Sirens of Sequentials. She has previously written pieces on Swamp Thing, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Orphan Black, and More.
