I had such a great reading year in 2024. Goodreads tells me I read 340 books. My biggest year yet. For 2025 I’m going to try to slow down. I think I’ve been in such a reading mood that it’s drowning out anything else. Why write when I can read? It’s an ongoing joke with my coworkers when they talk about a popular TV show/movie and I’ll tell them I’ll get to it one day or that it’s on my list to watch soon. Spoiler alert: I will never get to it. I had a bit of a health scare this year (one of those situations where thankfully, and very luckily, everything fell into place to prevent a time-bomb in my body from going unnoticed until it was too late. Get those checkups, people!) and it pushed me into trying to find escapism in books (my version of sticking my head in the sand). But this year, I hope to come somewhat out of my reading cave. I’m nearing the end of a completed very rough draft of a new Christmas story. My goal is to have that out by the end of this year. If I can manage more ...

 Hey all!  Just a quick message to let you know that my facebook page is likely disappearing. Apparently my account isn't one they're going to keep running...? I don't really understand it. However, since I usually only get about 20 people who see any posts I make (out of the 1.7K who have liked my page) I don't really see the point in fighting it. It just means that any updates I have in the future will come through here, Instagram, and Goodreads.  Happy reading!  Jessica x

  Being a police officer in a small town doesn’t often offer up many surprises. Working the night shift means I rarely see or do much of anything that doesn’t involve a speeding vehicle, or a drunken rant. And, while quiet nights are better than deadly ones, it still takes some getting used to after living in a big city for years. So, I’m rather shocked when I pull over a driver and find the dirtiest audiobook playing from the car speakers. And, paint me intrigued when the hot driver struggles to get the enticing words to stop broadcasting to the entire street. The embarrassing encounter has us both lowering our guard, and I find myself a new friend, one who suggests we start our own audiobook club. Soon, we become more than just friends as we listen and fall into stories and new worlds together and, naturally, the sexy scenes we’re listening to become a blueprint for our own experiences to try … together. But, when life intrudes and our audiobook club breaks up, I’m left wondering...

  A Christmas to Fight For is now live! This book had a much smoother writing process than A Christmas to Die For. I never intended to write another Christmas book, but this idea hit me like a freight train and I couldn't get it out of my head. I wrote an outline purely because the idea would not leave me alone. It took a strength I didn't know I had to hold off writing it so I could finish a book I was already working on. And as soon as A Christmas to Fight For was written it felt special. I still hated it as I did my re-reads and self-edits. That's normal for me. But I always ended it feeling happy and satisfied.  I want to send out a quick thank you to everyone who has already expressed their support for this release. The early reviews have made my heart sing! My Christmas release last year was a surprise to me. I had to fight that book to get written, it was rushed because of all things 2020, and I wasn't sure how I felt about it once I clicked published. But it end...

Hey all! So, I had some grand plans to put up a post to speak about the final book in the In Midsummer series being released. I was going to speak about the series and send out my gratitude to all the readers who embraced these characters and this fictional town. It’s been my most successful series to date. But looking back I realized I never did. I didn’t even post about Loving Love releasing. I think this is what happens when I release so close together. I get burnt out! Four books in four months, and overall, eight books in ten-ish months were a huge undertaking for me. And they were all actually finished last year, so this year I’ve been on a bit of a writing hiatus. (I have still been writing, just not on any kind of schedule. Only when I feel like it. More info on that under the Coming Soon tab!)  So while I missed the boat on posting for Loving Love, I can still send out my gratitude to the readers who gave it a shot. I am so lucky that so many readers/bloggers embraced the ...

Protecting Prince (In Midsummer, #6) is LIVE! You and grab it  here ! “Bryan was my favorite kind of hero, the gruff, jealous/protective type that will do anything for the person he loves. Henry was so good for him, both challenged him and got him to loosen up some. Together they were perfection.” – Carol [Goodreads Addict] “Their chemistry was pure fireworks that sparked and sizzled and may have melted my Kindle. Their banter was sweet and fun and frickin’ adorable. Not only do they love each other, but they are best friends first. There is so much caring and giving and passion and trust between them. Oh, and lots of smack talk. They gave me serious heart-eyes and made me smile constantly. Who knew these two could love so hard? *SWOON*” - Lori R. "These two - shazam - the chemistry leaps off the page. The duo has been dancing around each other forever, and you get to see a bit of this before they decide to give an r-e-l-a-t-i-o-n-s-h-i-p a try. However, the story centers on the n...

2020. Well. What a year! I thought I would write something down about this year which has been… interesting to say the least. On a personal front this has been an incredibly stressful year. Living in Australia means the start of the year was full of stress because of the devastating bushfires. Then we went almost straight into Covid. I work in an industry which doesn’t ever stop. So I had to stare Covid (and scared and sometimes abusive people) in the face day in and day out. Thankfully we’re incredibly lucky in Australia and while we have still been impacted by Covid, it’s not anywhere near as badly as others. I am also lucky to work in an industry which has only been impacted in ways of being busier. So to have that job security is something I never took for granted. And while staffing issues meant the last couple months of the year were pretty awful, I’m grateful to have a job and to have survived 2020. As for my writing: 2020 has been huge for me. I released five books this yea...
