The Glamorous Life & Times of a Romance Author

I’d like to start a little series called “The Glamorous Life & Times” that chronicles my decidedly VERY unglamorous life writing romance. Could be travel, news, events, celebs I’m obsessed with, you name it…anything is fair game. To start: I’m currently working on book #3 of THE HOPE DIAMOND TRILOGY, which will be out on […]

Anxious.

A big, fat, happy THANK YOU to everyone who pre-ordered THE GENTLEMAN JEWEL THIEF. The outpouring of love and support you all have shown is overwhelming, and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you paying your hard-earned bucks to read my smutty (in the best way!) book. Thank you! On that note, while […]

More Baby Makin’ Music

For Christmas, my dad gave me a nice chunk of change to dump into my iTunes account (thanks dad!), which I’ve been using these past weeks to snap up whole albums of some pretty bangin’ new artists. All of these guys have been on constant rotation as I write my heinie off this spring. There […]

Cover Reveal: THE GENTLEMAN JEWEL THIEF

So, this is exciting – check out the cover art for Book One of the HOPE DIAMOND TRILOGY, THE GENTLEMAN JEWEL THIEF! It’s delicious, isn’t it? Delicious, lovely, romantic, and, dare I say it, a little sexy, perhaps?…everything I’d hoped for in a cover for my debut novel. I owe tremendous thanks to the folks […]

It’s Been One Hell of A Year

So, I kinda struggled with this post – my inaugural “New Year’s Resolutions/Favorite Reads/Deep Thoughts & Reflections” entry. I wasn’t sure where I wanted to go with it, how much I should share, and what themes I should hit on. 2013 was magical in some ways, tedious in others; weird, awesome, hard, inspiring, heart-poundingly happy. […]

Book Love: ELEANOR & PARK by Rainbow Rowell

Happy Thanksgiving, lovers. I am especially excited for the holidays this year. As I get older, I enjoy the company of my family that much more. And because we all live in different cities, the times we do come together are that much more special; when we’re finally together, we laugh (and drink) a lot. […]

Cyn Kain Photography & The Creative Lair

Let it be said. I hate pictures of my mug. I have a very round face and a lazy eye, and I usually look like a cross between Mama June and Amanda Byrnes on a bad day in pictures. When I was in college (and when I’m drunk) I start making kissy-faces, or giving the […]

Book Love: THE RIVER OF NO RETURN

Or, this book was so good it sent me into a death spiral of writerly jealousy. First, some news. The good: I have FINALLY finished the first draft of book #2 (!), which means I’ll be working on some big-picture edits on my own in the next few days. The bad: This sucker WOULD.NOT.END., mostly […]

Baby Makin’ Music

Let’s talk about makin’ babies. Because, you know, a lot of that goes on in the books I write. Lovers are gonna love; and considering that birth control in early nineteenth century England consisted primarily of a weird contraption called the French Letter (more on that gem later) and not much else, that love often […]

If You Like Mr. Darcy and Thomas Crown…

Hello, world. Apologies for my extended absence – getting the hang of this blogging thing, while ridiculously fun and joyfully weird, has taken me far longer than I thought it would. Who knew it would take me a WHOLE DAY to figure out how to insert pictures into my posts? I promise to post more […]

Hello, lovers.

Welcome to my desk – and thank you for stopping by! This is my very first blog post on my very first blog. I am so excited I am literally shaking as I type these words – like, wait, this is real life? My name is Jessica Peterson and I write romance novels. My debut […]

Mr. Darcy

Heir to a grand title and even grander fortune, Lord William Townshend, Earl of Harclay, is among the most decorated peers – and disreputable rakes – in all England. Bored by the mindless round of another season’s entertainments, Harclay daringly schemes to thieve a near-priceless diamond from London’s most renowned banking scion, Thomas Hope. Lady […]
