About Jessica

It's nice to meet you!

As an Ohio native, I am fascinated by life in Minnesota. So many lakes. Such cold winters. And have I mentioned the adorable Scandinavian accents? Because I love living here so much, I want to share the 'Up North' life with all of my readers. I hope you find Minnesota as interesting as I do!

As a hopeless romantic, I can't watch a movie or read a book if it doesn't involve two people falling in love. Each of my stories combines a strong romantic theme with the eccentricities of living in Minnesota. I love stories about lost loves reuniting, and in fact, this is the central theme of my first full-length fiction novel. I hope you enjoy what you discover on this website. Thanks for stopping by!

You Can't Make This Stuff Up

I'm looking forward to hearing what everyone's favorite scenes from 'Fixed UP' are. I think it might be interesting to note that many of the crazy things Meg gets herself into were inspired by real-life situations that I...

Writing and the 'Big C'

I was all set to publish my first book in six years. It's a full-length fiction novel called 'Fixed Up,' a romantic comedy that literally came out of nowhere and poured from my brain out onto the computer keyboard. I've...

The Mosquitos Have Hatched!

It's mid June. School got out about a week ago and we can pretty much say that in Minnesota, summer is finally here. It takes us a while. We have a few false starts. For example, we may get a gorgeous May day, temps in t...
