Hello, Readers!

Hello, Readers!

I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Jackie Stef, and I'm so excited to introduce myself as a new author with Harlequin's Love Inspired line. My debut book, Their Make-Believe Match, releases on 7/26/22 (but you can pre-order now)!

Lancaster County is incredibly close to my heart. I have countless, precious childhood memories of exploring the backroads of Amish Country, and those experiences fueled my love of the simple life. Rural Pennsylvania is home, and it seemed like the perfect setting for my very first book.

Sadie and Isaac's story is one of healing and faith, things I hope that we could all use more of. I sincerely hope that you'll love these characters as much as I enjoyed writing them!

I want to extend the sincerest thank you to those who helped me get this book published, as well as those who have already preordered their copy.

I hope you'll stop by my Facebook page, Jackie Stef's Plain & Fancy, where I share updates about my writing as well as my personal photos of Lancaster County's Amish Country.

Blessings and Peace,
Jackie Stef

A Book Is Born

Hello, Readers! We are less than a month away from the official release day of my debut book, Their Make-Believe Match. This is such an exciting time as a new author! My book is on sale now (from Harlequin's website only) and I've been humbled and honored by readers who have already reached out to me to let me know how much they enjoyed this story.

Recently I've been asked how I came up with the plot of Their Make-Believe Match. The truthful answer is a bit disappointing; I don't know how I came up with the plot. However, I can say that the book's final two scenes came to me first. Without giving away any spoilers, an emotional moment of "redemption in the rain" has always floated around my writer's mind, and I was thrilled to be able to make it a major part of Sadie and Isaac's story.

Do you have any questions about the writing process, or about how a story comes together? Let me know!

Thank you for stopping by! -Jackie Stef
