Jessica A’s Favorite Reading Spot

Jun 26, 2015

I love the beach. The sound of waves crashing, the smell of salt air, the warm sun on my sunscreen-lathered skin. It’s all perfect for reading, except I really hate getting sand in my books. Luckily, my father’s beach house has plenty of comfy seating with a great view of the ocean. I’m fortunate that […]

Fillet of Murder by Linda Reilly

Jun 24, 2015

The first book in the charming Deep Fried Mystery series has been getting rave reviews. “Deep fried and deadly, Fillet of Murder is a perfectly seasoned mystery with quirky characters, a darling small town New England setting, and a plucky heroine. I thoroughly enjoyed this puzzler of a mystery. Reilly cooks up a perfect recipe […]

Why You Don’t Need to Worry About Protecting Your Idea

Jun 23, 2015

Last week I posted this Tweet: BookEndsJessica #MSWL a book based on this crazy story: Lawsuit: ‘Bring me young blood,’ stalker told Westfield home buyers   If you haven’t read the article you absolutely must.

Why Jessica F Loves Instagram and Other Thoughts on Social Media

Jun 18, 2015

I’ve been known to tell writers that they don’t have to involve themselves in social networking if they don’t want to. It’s a statement that makes agents cringe, editors blanche and writers cheer. I’ve always been fairly active on Twitter. I Tweet in fits and starts as the mood takes me and Beth does a […]

What Jessica A. Is Reading

Jun 17, 2015

Like a lot of people, summer is the time I get to do the most reading for pure fun. Beach vacations offer plenty of opportunity. Also, I’m an admitted tv addict and, once those season finales air, I start to fill my nights with more reading. So, what have I been reading besides submissions? I snatched up The […]

Tess Gerritsen Medical Thrillers are #MSWL by Jessica Alvarez

Jun 16, 2015

  ER, House, Gray’s Anatomy, Boston Med, Hopkins, Doogie Howser. I devoured them all. On screen or page, I love a good medical mystery or hospital setting. That’s what drew me to my client Lara Lacombe. Lara writes romantic suspense with a science angle. Check out her (https://laralacombe.blogspot.com) books! But long before I found Lara, […]

#CCWC and Other Terrific Writers Conferences

Jun 15, 2015

I read something recently in which the author said that agents should not give advice on how to find an agent because they don’t know what they are talking about. While I disagree with that, I suppose the same could be said about agents giving advice on conferences. That being said, I’m going to throw […]
