Award-winning Author

Did you know that YA author Jarrod L. Edge never planned on becoming a writer? In fact, he didn’t even enjoy reading as a child. Yet, his natural talent for storytelling has led to the publication of more than ten successful books. His latest major release, Enoch: The Prophecy of the Seventh Elizabeth, Book Three, continues his tradition of weaving themes of hope and faith into his narratives.
Jarrod believes that a great story resonates with readers through the relatable nature of its characters. He aims for his young readers to understand that just as God loves his characters, He loves them too. Jarrod’s stories carry a powerful message: even in the darkest times, light can prevail, and God’s plan is always at work, even if it’s not immediately visible.
A unique aspect of Jarrod’s writing process involves listening to his work through audible platforms, allowing him to visualize his stories. His inspiration comes from everyday life—whether it’s his job, watching his four children grow, or listening to weekly sermons. Sometimes, a single sentence can spark an idea that finds its way into his books. Jarrod firmly believes that God communicates through people, and he channels this belief into his writing.
Writing is a family affair for Jarrod. He often discusses ideas and stories with his family, and several of his books are co-authored by his children, one of which has even won an award. A devoted Christian, Jarrod is grateful for everything God has done in his life.
Excitingly, Jarrod is currently turning The Prophecy of the Seventh Elizabeth, Book 1 and Book 2 into audiobooks, which will be available before the end of this year.
When he’s not crafting inspiring and thought-provoking science-fiction Christian fiction for young adults, Jarrod enjoys creating 3D graphics and music, writing short stories, and spending quality time with his family. He serves as the Director of SharePoint Services for a company in Des Moines, Iowa, and is an active member of the Lutheran Church of Hope in Waukee, where he resides.
