Jamey Bradbury is the author of "The Wild Inside," a debut novel published by William Morrow in 2018. The book, set in Alaska, explores themes of murder, family, and the wilderness, with a focus on dog sledding and the bonds between humans and animals. "The Wild Inside" has been translated for publication in Poland, Italy, Hungary, and France. Bradbury's short fiction has appeared in literary journals such as "Black Warrior Review," where she won the annual fiction contest, as well as "Sou’wester" and "Zone 3."

Originally from Illinois, Bradbury moved to Anchorage, Alaska, in 2002, though her journey included stints with the Peace Corps, work in Vermont, and graduate school. Her connection to Alaska deeply influences her writing, which often reflects the state’s rugged landscapes and complex human relationships. Beyond her literary pursuits, she enjoys hiking and local Anchorage spots like Spenard Roadhouse and Bear Tooth Theater Pub. Bradbury currently resides in Anchorage with her two cats.
