Jessica Scachetti

​Hi, and welcome to My Author Page! I'm Jessica Scachetti, and I want to tell you a little bit about me.

 I'm part of the over 40 club, mostly Mexican and Swiss.

 I originally hail from Oklahoma. I was born in a smallish Air Force town near the border of Texas. Most of my family still resides in OK, but I'm currently living with my husband and our children in New Jersey.

I'm a child of God. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that He died on the cross for our sins, and that we all can receive salvation through Him, which brings me to why I'm here on bookstagram:

I'm an author of gritty Christian Romance. That is, my books have an edgier romance plot that has muchly been impacted by my unique upbringing. You can check out my testimony, which is also pinned on my profile.

The Air Force is how I ended up in NJ, where I met and fell in love with my husband. Our story is quite the tale. He had "rescued" me from the airport when I arrived-an 18 year old girl with no phone, no money and never having been alone in a big city. He was friends and had served in the AF with my sister at the time, who had sent this young man I'd never met to come and pick me up when she got delayed. He found me in tears, standing by a pay phone trying to make collect calls, to no avail. When he approached me, I threw him for a loop when I wrapped him in a great big hug and thanked him for saving me. He and I dated shortly after, and he was my first kiss and my first love. We married over a year later and have two precious sons together. Scachettis Est 2005

In my spare time from working and writing, I make and sell hand-poured soy candles. I took up candlemaking as a hobby during lockdown and turned it into a local business.

I also enjoy singing, dancing, RV camping, movies, reading, and worshiping the Lord.

I like to indulge in a warm cup of coffee, tea or hot cocoa depending on my mood.

  I'm also the proud fur mom of a 5 dogs, two cats and a potbelly pig.
