Jessica Clare is a well-known author who writes under different pen names, including Jill Myles and Jessica Sims. She is best recognized for her New York Times and USA Today bestselling erotic contemporary romance novels, which she publishes under the name Jessica Clare. Clare has been an incurable romantic since her childhood, and this is evident in her writings. She is known to have a playful sense of humor, always on the lookout for a dirty joke and thinking that classic books like Little House on the Prairie should have been steamier.
Clare grew up in Texas, where she currently resides with her family, cats, and what she describes as "one too many dust bunnies." She spent her childhood and early adulthood devouring hundreds of paperback romances, mythology books, and archaeological tomes. These early influences served as inspiration for her to start writing her own novels, which she decided would feature wild adventures, sharp banter, and steamy situations. Her preference for alpha male heroes and witty heroines is a recurring theme in her books, and she enjoys depicting their love scenes in an erotic manner.
Before becoming a successful author, Clare read extensively, drawing inspiration from writers such as Jude Deveraux, Julie Garwood, and Anne McCaffrey. She has said in interviews that these authors provided her with motivation and encouragement. Clare's writing style is characterized by her ability to create engaging storylines, relatable characters, and vivid descriptions that keep readers enthralled until the last page.
In addition to writing under the pen name Jessica Clare, she also writes as Jill Myles and Jessica Sims, each with its unique genre and style. As Jill Myles, she writes a little bit of everything, from sexy, comedic urban fantasy to fairy tales gone wrong. And as Jessica Sims, she writes fun, sexy shifter paranormals. Despite her success and the demand for her works, Clare remains grounded and committed to her craft, always looking for ways to improve her writing and connect with her readers.
