Chelsea Jacobs grew up with an immense love for words–both reading them and writing them. She obtained her degree in English and has spent the time since then getting married to her high school sweetheart and chasing adventure so she’ll have something to write about. When she’s not drinking copious amounts of coffee while writing, she spends her time reading, playing with her puppy named Gatsby, and dreaming, always dreaming.”
What was your favorite book as a child?
Daisy Head Maisy by Dr. Suess. My dad read it to me before bed every night.
What book did you read that first made you want to be an author?
The Christy Miller Series by Robin Jones Gunn. I felt like those characters were my friends and I looked forward to each book. I wanted (and still want!) to be able to write books that make other people feel that way.
What was the last book you read, just for fun?
Princess Ever After by Rachel Hauck.
What upcoming release are you most looking forward to?
I’ve been so busy with my own book stuff that I actually don’t know what’s coming out soon! Rachel Hauck and Sarah Dessen are two authors whose books I buy the day they are released, so I’ll just say something from them!

My favorite beach read is pretty much any book that can keep my attention over the peacefulness of the waves and watching the family play. I love to read but get easily distracted at the beach!
Any book that helps me relax and de-stress, although I am not a beach person.
The best beach read format for me is something lighthearted and funny. I prefer to save the more complicated, serious reading for when concentrating is easier, like on the couch! Too much excitement happening at the beach to focus on reading too long, the smell of the ocean, the roaring of the crashing waves, the cawing of the seagulls, the laughter of children playing, the tunes on nearby radios, and of course, my husband asking for another application of sunscreen on his back! 🙂
I love a good romantic suspense. It keeps my glued to the book while the sun does it’s job by tanning me. I found out the hard way that you have to move the book or you’ll have the shape of the book as the big white spot.
A good romance mystery is perfect for a beach read!
