My heart is filled with romantic stories, my shelves are loaded with chocolate and my lips are always longing for one more cup of Starbucks. Besides that, I write for Love Inspired Historical and am a happy mom to a bunch of little boys. I love connecting with readers and writers.

Jessica Nelson answered Anita D's question: Will you make “an unlikely duchess” a series and have the other stories about her sisters? (Please lol) That was actually the original plan! I'm the oldest of three girls and so it was really fun to write each unique sister. I'm so glad you liked them! And you never know...they may have their own stories in the future. :)
