Jillian Forsberg is a historian and author with a master's degree in public history from Wichita State University. Her fascination with overlooked stories and hidden histories led to her debut novel, The Rhino Keeper. With a deep passion for 18th-century Europe, she brings to life the forgotten artisans, courtiers, and survivors of a dazzling yet dangerous past. When she's not writing, Jillian enjoys antique-hunting, gardening, and reading every label at a museum. She lives in Wichita, Kansas, with her husband, child, and pets. The Porcelain Menagerie is her second novel.
