Hello & Welcome!
I’m Jessica Sherry, an independent author & publisher from Wilmington, North Carolina, where I live a casual beach life with my husband and publishing partner, Joe. We also share two amazing kids and nearly thirty years together.
Every romance I write is a version of us.
I love books that make my heart race, one way or another, so it’s no wonder that I lean towards mysteries and romance. My stories feature broken, imperfect people, emotional plots, and found families. I’m passionate about what I do because I ache for a good story and love building worlds where people laugh, cry, hurt, find themselves, and of course, fall in love.
When I’m not writing or reading other amazing books, I’m with Joe at the beach, treasure-hunting in thrift stores, watching British TV, or at the park. l love a good park.

My Characters
DELILAH DUFFY
FROM THE DELILAH DUFFY MYSTERY SERIES
Delilah and I are both book nerds and love a good mystery. Like Delilah, I love the beach so much that I moved close to it. I adore shell-hunting and learning facts about the ocean and its creatures (and applying them to real life, especially romance). I have a yearly pass to our local aquarium!
Unlike Delilah, I’m not afraid of the water, and I’ve never solved a murder-mystery (except the ones I read and watch on TV- and yes, I always figure out who did it before the big reveal).
LENA BUCKLEY
FROM THE SADDLE TREE SERIES
Like Lena, I grew up in the country with hoses, gardens, and a vehicle graveyard. Like her, I’ve also lost my parents (inspiration for One Thing Better), and I have an anxiety disorder. Like her, I love Publix, fast driving with loud music, and taking one thing at a time. Unlike Lena, I’ve never been on a runaway horse, though my daughter has (and it happened just like the scene in the book). I also have three siblings instead of one, and none live in Malibu. Baking isn’t for me, but I love a good cupcake.
BEN WRIGHT
FROM THE SADDLE TREE SERIES
Like Ben Wright, I get quiet when I should talk. I’m married to a dream supporter, and we know the first step to anything is showing up. We also have a Jeep Wrangler, and we love off-roading. Unlike Ben, no one in my family is in law enforcement, and I can’t eat a cupcake in two bites.
ROWAN MACKEY
FROM YES NO MAYBE
Like Rowan, I used to teach high school English and LOVED it! I also love reading on the beach and frequenting Airlie Gardens (only on Free Day). We also had a black cat named Jimothy—not Edgar Allan Poe—until my daughter took him to college with her. Oh, I also like a nice Chardonnay. Unlike Rowan, I could NEVER have rules against ROMANCE!
JACK GRAHAM
FROM YES NO MAYBE
Jack and I are both angsty, realistic romance writers (sometimes with a bad attitude). Unlike Jack, I’m an indie author and have yet to hit any bestseller list. I also don’t have extravagant release parties at my house, but I aspire to one day! Like Jack and Rowan, I live in a friendly neighborhood in a quiet pocket of Wilmington, NC. Unlike Jack and Rowan’s neighborhood, no hot playboy writer lives next door.
MARNIE STRANGE
FROM EVERY CHANCE AFTER
Like Marnie, I love British TV and rescuing things. Thrift stores and yard sales are fun for me. Like Marnie, I worked in a grocery store (Food Lion), where—unlike Marnie—I met my husband, Joe. Unlike Marnie, I don’t talk to my plants (though I should) or create homemade board games. But I think that would be a pretty awesome hobby. I’m not as bubbly as Marnie, but I’ve often felt like the go-to girl, just like she does.
GRADY TRIPP
FROM EVERY CHANCE AFTER
Like Grady Tripp, I have family ties to a rustic convenience store that, in its heyday, had every candy and snack a kid could want—and the best hot dogs ever. My parents had three small-town stores, where I also worked starting at age twelve. With my first paycheck, I bought a battery-operated typewriter to write stories in the car on long trips (before the invention of the laptop). Unlike Grady, I only have a grouchy reputation around my household, not in the entire town. Usually, it’s because I’m not writing and want to, or I’ve hit a story snag. Also, I’m not a vet, but my daughter aspires to be. Like Grady, my husband had “imperfect” pets—a dog with three legs, one with a clipped ear, and another with a stubbed tail—all of whom lived very happily exactly as they were.
