Award-winning author Jill McCroskey Coupe’s novels, Beginning with Cannonballs (2020) and True Stories at the Smoky View (2016), depict unlikely friendships and have been reviewed in Library Journal, Booklist, Necessary Fiction, and Smoky Mountain Living. Gemma Sommerset (July 2025) tells of a woman searching for her true self. Jill’s master’s degrees — an MFA in Fiction and an MLS (Library Science) — are a dead giveaway: she has always loved books. A former librarian at Johns Hopkins University, she recently moved from Maryland to Vermont.
