1st Impressions Matter -- 1st Paragraph, 1st Page, 1st Chapter

Jessica TrappMulti-award winning author Jessica Trapp believes that a dynamic romance is one where two opposing characters are transformed into people who share love and passion. She will share tried and true methods to build conflict and keep your story on the premise line.

Jessica holds a BS degree in pharmacy and lives in Houston, Texas with a husband and son who are as passionate about books as she is. When she's not reading or writing, she putters in the garden, plays chess, and drinks copious amounts of hot tea.
