Interview With Author Jessica E. Thomas
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hi! I’m a sweet romance author who publishes under the name Jessica Tescher and Jessica E. Thomas. As Jessica E. Thomas I have written a woman’s fiction novel, a dystopian science fiction novel, four sweet romance novellas, a children’s book, and a poetry collection. I will publish my first sweet romantic comedy as Jessica Tescher in January 2023.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is Blind Fate. I knew I wanted to write a southern sweet romantic comedy, so I chose Savannah, Georgia as my setting and the rest grew from there.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
My most unusual habit is my inability to stick to a project plan. I love planning my projects, but I never follow the plans. I always tend to write intuitively based on my muse.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Too many to name! I tend to read speculative fiction. My favorite spec fic authors are Ray Bradbury and George Orwell.
What are you working on now?
I’m working on a series called Blind Chance Romance, which is sweet romantic comedy set in Savannah, Georgia. The first book in the series, Blind Fate, will be available in January 2023.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I have websites for my two pen names, www.jessicaethomas.com and www.jessicatescher.com. My favorite places to hang out online are Facebook and Instagram. I also have a YouTube channel, Jessica Tescher, where I publish once or twice a week.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write. A lot!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
In terms of writing, the best advice I heard was to be willing to work at it.
What are you reading now?
I’m currently reading Immortal In Death by J.D. Robb.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Write more books!
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
The Bible and two or three of the best Bible commentaries I could find.
