Jacqueline C. Thomas Romance Novelist
Welcome to my website and thanks for stopping by. Over the past few years I’ve been writing about writing. I’ve built this blog as a resource for fellow writers. At the same time, I am also telling my own story of my writing journey. Dramatic, steamy romance is the genre I write, you won’t find romantic comedy here. (No offence to the RomCom lovers/ writers out there). I’ve been writing romance novels since 2017 and have almost a dozen completed works.
I am getting ready to self-publish my second book The Lake Michigan Affair. I self-published my first project, Quarantine Stories: A Collection of 25 Short Love Stories Set During the Global Pandemic back in 2020. You can also find the McKinely Park, another completed romance novel that I published a chapter at a time on this site back in 2019.
I hope you learn something here, or at the least find some great entertainment. Thanks again for visting!

The Lake Michigan Affair Ten Day Countdown: Fact #9- Bishop Sebastian Cole’s Parts Were Added in a Later Revision.
This book is narrated by Rosalie as she tells us her story.
