Rock. Write. Repeat.

Jessica Topper broke the rock romance mold with her 2013 debut novel LOUDER THAN LOVE. Her follow-up romantic comedy, DICTATORSHIP OF THE DRESS, was named one of Publishers Weekly’s Best Books of 2015.

After working almost two decades in the music industry, Jessica hung up her touring boots in order to concentrate on her writing. She lives in Western New York with two cats who love to walk across her keyboard, a teenage writer girl and a husband who wishes to remain anonymous. You can visit her at www.jessicatopper.com.

Jessica is the author of two series:

LOVE & STEEL
(Louder Than Love, Deeper Than Dreams, Softer Than Steel – NEW EDITIONS COMING SOON)

I had so much fun finding inspiration for Adrian and his axes. (Looking at pictures of hot rocking guitarists and listening to many smoking solos is totally book research...)

When we meet Adrian, he is playing a battered Guild 12-string acoustic, and later he mentions his friend Randy gave it to him. That was my homage to Randy Rhoads, one of my all-time favorite guitarists.

But naturally, a musician of Adrian's caliber (and wealth) would own many guitars. :) Mostly electric ones. He shares his "secret" new composition with Kat in his bedroom playing his signature Ibanez, which is like a classic metal guitar. And he plays a Roadstar (also an Ibanez brand) when he sits in with Jim's band, Dead Can Dream.

But in my mind, and in various incarnations of this book (many deleted scenes) Adrian does favor a 70s Goldtop Gibson Les Paul, which he claims was his first guitar. :) (less)

Who's Up for a New Holiday Series?

Happy December! I swear the moment the calendar page turns, my brain goes into holiday mode. Although truth be told...this year, I've been fully immersed since July...daydreaming of snow, twinkling lights, nostalgic once-a-year foods…the whole nine yards.

Or should I say – all eight candles?

My writer BFF Amanda Usen and I had started brainstorming a Hanukkah romance series a couple years ago. T Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Jessica Topper  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“You've got this...this love-no, it's louder than love. It's passion and beauty built up inside you that deserves to burst out.”
Jessica Topper, Louder Than Love

“If we hurry you can make the 6:35."

"I'd rather kiss you and take the 6:55.”
Jessica Topper, Louder Than Love

“I guess I'm not a very spiritual person. I don't think things always 'happen for a reason,' everything must be 'God's way,' or (and this is one of Karen's favorites) 'He only gives you what you can handle.' I simply believe, and I'm sorry to sound crude about it, that shit happens. Period.

Sometimes you are the pigeon.
Sometimes you are the statue.”
Jessica Topper, Louder Than Love
