Author Interview: Jessica Scachetti
I am here with Author Jessica Scachetti, an independently published author of gritty Christian Romance. Jessica reminds aspiring authors to “don’t give up. Not if you can help it. Keep preserving because your talent needs to shine.” Welcome, Jessica!
Me: What inspired you to be an Author?
Jessica: I’ve loved to write stories since I was a kid. From the age of 10 forward, I’d penned a Children’s book, a couple of Suspense novels, and an Autobiography that I may or may not decide to polish and publish someday. It wasn’t until after the lockdown in 2020 that I got inspired to publish. I’d been dabbling with the story of Wonder of Light, and after reading it to a friend, she encouraged me to publish. Following some thorough research and pricing out what it would cost to publish, I talked it over with my husband and decided to pull the trigger on publishing my debut novel. From that point, I penned and published 3 more books over the next 12 months, but then life happened, and writing got placed on the back burner for a while. Now that things are beginning to smooth out, I’ve been motivated to polish and relaunch a few of my original novels along with releasing hardcovers and audiobooks for all of them.
Me: Tell me about your writing.
Jessica: My edgier Fictional Romance stories do contain sinful characters who make or have made poor choices, use profanity, and inflict violence. There are fairly mild depictions of abuse, assault (non-sexual), threats, revenge plotting, illness, gun violence, knife violence, and death. Despite each book's use of flawed characters, violence, and profanity, each gritty representation showcases the immorality of those sinful actions and displays an overall message of redemption and salvation through Jesus Christ.
Me: What is next for you? Any new books?
Jessica: My latest launch will actually be the hardcover release of my debut novel, Wonder of Light. The hardcover is set to go live on June 3rd. Along with the new cover, I’ve revised the whole story with expanded scenes and cleaner edits for all formats. I also just launched the audiobook this month. I’m currently revising and editing the second novel in the series, From Dark to Light. I’ll be revealing the hardback covers to both books #2 and #3 in the trilogy to my subscribers first on June 10th and on social media within a few days from then. I also intend to complete my Mafia-inspired Christian Romance series with the next two installments, hopefully sometime this year. Then, next on the horizon, I’ve got some ideas for a Rockstar Christian Romance that I’m hoping to put into action.
Me: What do you hope your readers will gain from reading your books?
Jessica: First and foremost, I would like readers to gain and/or rebuild a relationship with Christ through reading my books. I also want them to be reminded that no one is irredeemable. Christ’s mercy and salvation are open to all humankind.
