Jessica Ruddick is an award-winning author of heartfelt, humorous stories with swoony romance, sharp banter, and deliciously distracting fictional problems. She lives in Virginia with her college-sweetheart husband, two mostly grown sons, and two dogs who believe personal space is a myth. When she’s not writing, she’s usually reading, sweating at OrangeTheory, tending virtual crops in Stardew Valley, or cross-stitching decidedly non-granny patterns.
