Jessica Wendi Abel

Author, mother, and catnip for awkward situations. Knower of nothing, worrier of everything.

I spend my days pondering the absurdities of modern life, drawing inspiration from a well of neverending anxiety and a lifetime spent masking in the professional world as a speech therapist and school administrator.

Now I turn these musings into minimalist, high-contrast text-only memes. No toxic positivity here. Just a way of writing back to the intrusive thoughts keeping me awake, one short deadpan letter at a time.

No AI will ever be used in the creation of the Dear Mystery series or any of my books, only human error and a stale, 20-year-old state-school education.

Some topics I tend to fixate on are: mental health, motherhood, toxic bosses and workplaces, screens and scrolling, impossible dreams, writing, missing friends, AI slop taking over the world, and on occasion, aliens.

Let me know what you tend to fixate on and I might turn it into a meme one day.

Dear Mystery Reader, let's fixate together.
