Hello
Welcome to my little corner on the web! I'm Jessica Glidden, and I'm thrilled you stopped by. Nestled in the scenic Hill Country, I craft stories of sweet romance and heartfelt inspiration surrounded by my three wonderful children, our lively dog Dakota, and the rolling landscapes that define my home.
My writing journey is woven into the fabric of everyday life, where episodes of "General Hospital" often unfold with my mom by my side, and adventures in gaming bring laughter with my kids. When not penning tales, I might be found indulging in my favorite snack—peanut butter M&Ms—or sipping on sweet tea and Dr Pepper, which I enjoy a little too enthusiastically.
As a proud Southern belle with a hint of Texan drawl, my stories are deeply rooted in the heart of Texas. Whether it's the bustling streets of Dallas or a quaint, unpronounceable town tucked away on a ranch, my tales aim to transport you. Through the lives of my characters, I hope you find laughter, tears, and a piece of my heart, discovering resilience, strength, and hope along the way.
Thank you for visiting, and may you find a little escape and a lot of inspiration in the stories I have to tell.
My Story
From the quiet comfort of a small town, my life as a writer began with my love of books. From childhood favorites like *When You Give a Mouse a Cookie* to the *Berenstain Bears*, and even the adventures my mom crafted at bedtime, each story drew me in and my imagination blossomed. These early experiences with books ignited a passion for storytelling that has grown with me into adulthood.
Writing has always been my sanctuary, a way to channel my creativity and express myself. I see writing as a gift from God—a precious ability to transform words into worlds, and to share the depths of the human experience with others. Surrounded by the hum of daily life and the supportive laughter of my children, I connect deeply with this gift, crafting stories that resonate with truth and emotion.
As I continue to raise my three incredible children, writing remains our shared adventure. It allows me to demonstrate the power of storytelling, the importance of faith, and the beauty of dreaming big. The support of my family—my children, my mom, and my sister—inspires and grounds my stories, infusing them with love, humor, and the occasional quirkiness that defines our lives.
Through my writing, I aspire to offer an escape—an adventure in the heart of Texas, where the settings are as big as the stories themselves. Whether it's through the bustling energy of Dallas or the serene pastures of a hidden ranch, I hope to transport my readers to places that stir the soul and spark the imagination.
Join me in this journey through the pages of my books, where we’ll explore life’s complexities and celebrate the enduring human spirit. Together, let's find hope and happiness, one story at a time.
With All my💜
Jess
