Alexis: Today we have Inspirational Romance author Jessica Nelson. She's giving away a copy of The Matchmaker’s Match, so be sure to answer her question for a chance to win!
So Jessica, what was the first romance you ever read?
Jessica: I'm pretty sure it was one of my mom's Skye O'Malley books by Beatrice Small. She had them stacked in a closet and I, being an avid reader, found them. Let's just say that my education was greatly enhanced by her novels. *cough and wink*
Alexis: I get that. For me it was Shanna by Kathleen Woodiwiss. Whoa, I learned a lot. What does your family think of your writing career?
Jessica: I have an amazing family! They have been so supportive and think writing books is very cool. I've heard of other writers being ridiculed or scoffed at for choosing writing but I have been super blessed. Every single person has wished me the best in writing :-)
Alexis: That’s excellent! What was your first writer’s conference?
Jessica: My first conference was the Florida Christian Writer's Conference and it was absolutely amazing. Being around other writers felt like coming home. Plus, I was so excited to pitch my book to an agent. And then I found out it was supposed to be finished first! Whoops. :-) But that agent, Steve Laube, was incredibly kind and gentle and gave me sound advice.
Alexis: We can all use advice now and then. Of all the books you’ve written, which is your favorite character?
Alexis: She sounds like fun. So I just have to ask, because I know so many writers like sweets. What is your favorite treat? Why?
Jessica: I adore anything that combines mint and chocolate or raspberry and chocolate. I think Godiva Dark Chocolate truffles are the BEST!! There is no favorite, really, it just depends on my mood ;-)
Alexis: Jessica, thank you so much for visiting and bringing your gorgeous cover of The
Matchmaker’s Match :-)

Blurb
of The
Matchmaker’s Match
He
has three months to find a wife—or lose his estate. Spencer, Lord Ashwhite,
doubts he'll find a suitable bride among the ton, until the unconventional Lady
Amelia Baxley agrees to provide a list of candidates. It should be an ideal
arrangement, were Spencer not growing attached to the one woman Amelia refuses
to consider as a prospect: herself.
Independence means everything to Amelia, who has been burned in love before. The charming marquis is quickly putting her entire life in turmoil, and controlling her stubborn heart has never been such a challenge. But does the ever-practical Amelia dare to go from bride-finder to wife?

About
Jessica:
Jessica
Nelson believes romance happens every day, and thinks the greatest, most intense
romance comes from a God who woos people to himself with passionate tenderness.
When Jessica is not chasing her three beautiful, wild little boys around the
living room, she can be found staring into space as she plots her next story.
Or she might be daydreaming about a raspberry mocha from Starbucks. Or thinking
about what kind of chocolate she should have for dinner that night. She could
be thinking of any number of things, really. One thing is for certain, she is
blessed with a wonderful family and a lovely life.
