Jessica Scarlett writes amazing books and lame author bios. She hates the pressure of encapsulating everything about herself in a hundred words or less, because she’s too divergent, dynamic, and different for that. And simultaneously not that interesting.

She is the author of the Wycliffe Family Series, Slanted London series, and a couple plays. When not writing, she loves composing music, laughing with her four kids, or doing life on a ranch in Utah with her cinnamon-roll husband.

First of all, thank you for thinking they seem real!

I have a pretty standard process that I go through to develop my characters, and I try to do it for each one, regardless of whether or not they play a large part in the story. That process involves me asking myself two questions:

1. What do they want/why do they want it?

2. What are they most afraid of?

I think the key thing to making characters seem real is keeping them consistent. Once I've answered these two questions for them, I basically know everything I need to know about them. I'm able to see what they would do in any given situation, and WHY. This allows me to given reasons behind every one of their actions, which lends toward consistency, and ultimately, believability.(less)

I was expecting something light and fun, and while the humor was so amazing, this book was so much MORE.

The emotion and connection these characters elicit is top tier. My heart soared and broke along with theirs. I can't wait for Sally to write more!

“Surrounded by a sea of people, I felt more alone than ever.”
Jessica Scarlett, A Lady on the Chase

“If we refuse to cry, or mourn, or feel, then before too long, our souls would dry up. They would wither away and leave in their place a wide emptiness that cannot be filled. We would become not just broken, but ugly. And then we wouldn’t be able to feel anything at all.”
Jessica Scarlett, A Lily in Disguise

“It was William. It had always been William. But how? How could I have been so blind to my own feelings?”
Jessica Scarlett, A Lord of Many Masks
