About Jessica
Jessica is the author of twenty novels. Last Summer at Maine Chance is her historical fiction debut. She lives with her exuberant family and preposterously pampered dog, Sam. Jessica splits her time between a tiny New Hampshire village and the coast of Maine, a state her family has called home for generations. When not dreaming up her next novel, she can usually be found walking barefoot on her favorite Maine beach, even in the dead of winter.
