Jamie W. Matlock

Biography

Jamie W. Matlock is the author of The Love Series, which includes Love Aced & Love Strung. Bored with punching a clock and watching dust collect on the frame of her marketing degree, she decided to turn her lifelong hobby into a career and hasn't looked back since.

Known for mixing both humor and drama into her novels, she likes for her readers to experience a gamut of emotions while enjoying one of her stories. She's also a sucker for flawed protagonists, strong male characters and incredible sex scenes, so be on the lookout for all three in each of her novels.

Outside of writing, you can find her spending time with her family, yelling at a television screen during sporting events, nursing her coffee addiction and coupling a good book with a glass of wine.

Smashwords Interview

When did you first start writing?
I've been writing my whole life - song lyrics, poems, a dabble into fanfiction, etc. It was kind of my 'hidden talent', my secret refuge, and while I was out going to college and attempting to get a big girl job, it was that thing I did when everything else was done.

Everyone always told me that I was a good writer, but writing is kind of one of those passions that doesn't make money until it does - sort of like music or acting - so I never considered it a job. It was more like a dream to chase. And, in some ways, it still is because I still have a full-time job.
What's the story behind your latest book?
I'm a sports lover by nature and have been for most of my life, so it wouldn't come as a surprise to most that know me that I would write about sports. In fact, when I started my Facebook Author page, one of my longtime friends commented, 'I can't believe it's not about hockey." I've also been reading romance since before I probably should've been. So coupling the two was destined to happen.

I had the characters for Love Aced in my mind for years, but every time I sat down to write it, I never liked the outcome. Until one glorious day...I sat down in front of my computer and everything just seemed to click into place. I think I wrote the first five chapters in a day. Of course the final product looks nothing like those chapters now, as it's been edited and reworked more times than I could possibly count, but it was enough to get the ball rolling and to motivate me to continue.
