Hey, Everyone! I'm Jessie Gussman and I write love stories.
I guess some people think that a writer's life is glamorous. Especially a romance writer.
This book was written to disabuse that notion.
I'm kidding. That's not the purpose of this book, although it's a definite effect.
It's true that I'm a USA Today bestselling author, which, I have to admit, surprises me as much as anyone.
My husband and I also own a trucking company. We have two twenty thousand bird free-range laying houses (our eggs are probably in your grocery store!), raise grass-fed beef cattle, homeschool our kids and are on a first-name basis with the Game Warden and the state police (mostly because of the kids and not really my husband).
I frequently cook for strangers, occasionally hide from my family and own more fire extinguishers than the average person (for good reason).
Sometimes, when I sit down at my computer, instead of writing the next chapter in my latest romance, I write about my life.
Sometimes it's fun. Sometimes funny. Sometimes it's heartbreaking and sometimes you just see life through the eyes of a farmer, growing older every day and maybe just a little wiser.
We do a lot of laughing, some crying and every day is a learning experience wrapped in the love of God and held in His hand.
That's what I share with you in this book.
Thanks so much for spending some time with me today!
Love,
Jessie
