Text saying 'Caroline Jax' with 'Caroline' in purple script and 'Jax' in black script.
Book cover for 'Carolina Jax' romance novel featuring a smiling woman with wavy brown hair in a navy dress, with pink hearts and the subtitle 'Laughs, Love, Lust.'

Hailing from a tiny town in New York, Carolina spends her free time with her military husband, their three sons and new daughter-in-law (welcome to this crazy family!) and her chocolate lab, Lincoln. Her avid love for reading slowly morphed into an “I want to do that, too!” attitude and a dream was born with a pen and paper.

Carolina Jax writes contemporary romances about her favorite things – football, small towns and big hearts. Her stories are based on an everyday life with amazing people finding amazing love. They have the perfect combination of love, lust and laughs, and always with a Happily Ever After.

When she’s not on the field watching her boys play football and lacrosse, she loves to drink wine with friends, watch the Philadelphia Eagles (hopefully) win, read about alpha heroes, and dream about everything Christmas.

Stylized text with the name Jessica Gomez, with 'Jessica' in purple cursive and 'Gomez' in black cursive on a white background.
A smiling woman with long blonde hair, wearing a taupe jacket and dark jeans, sitting on a wooden bench outdoors with a log pile and tree in the background during autumn.

I'm a Michigan author, and I’ve been writing freelance in the film & television industry for years, particularly in horror. I am also an annual guest on true crime podcast Check the Locks.

PIECES OF YOU is my debut novel, a creepy but emotional thriller that tackles abduction, murder, grief, and the maternal impact on us all. I watch a lot of true crime documentaries, and thoughts started to formulate: why do people automatically assume women have run off when they go missing? What makes a killer? The impact of becoming a mother made me think more deeply about the world as a whole and inspired my entire writing process. Though the subject matter is dark and disturbing, I think it will resonate with all of us.

On the personal side, I love to hang out with my son, travel, get out in nature, watch bad horror movies with friends, and spend as much time near water as I can. I was a competitive figure skater for years. Mindfulness and gratitude are important practices in my life. And of course, I love to read the kind of books that inspire me to write – anything from Lisa Jewell, Cynthia D’Aprix-Sweeney, and Gillian Flynn.

I love to connect with readers. You can follow me here:
