Meet Peggy Jaeger, author of “Perfect Match (Heaven's Matchmaker, book 3)”

Tell us what your book, “Perfect Match ( Heaven's Matchmaker, book 3)” is about!

I’d love to! Here’s the summary: 

Third generation matchmaker, Olivia Joyner, enjoys a 99% success rate when it comes to helping people find their happily ever afters. But her newest client is proving to be part of the 0.1 percent.

All the women Olivia have matched geriatrician Hunter Reinhart with have been perfect on paper. None of them, though, have resulted in a second request for a date, and all the women say the same thing: Hunter, although handsome and successful is just… dull. And boring. And too reserved.

Olivia can’t understand it, because to her? Hunter is none of those things. In fact, he’s the exact opposite of dull, boring, and reserved. He’s a man she would consider worthy of marrying herself – if she was in the market for a spouse.

Which she isn’t.

Olivia needs to figure out why she can’t find Hunter Reinhart the perfect match, and it just may require her to do something she’s never done before: go on a “date” with a client.

Purely for research and educational purposes, that is.

What did you love most about writing this book?

Bringing two people together who deserved happiness in their lives.

How did you start writing?

I have been a life long diarist. I started with a little lock and key diary at age 8. I was never filled with things from my daily life, but with adventure stories about a lonely little girl. I was that girl!

Tell us a little bit about your self-publishing experience.

I entered a romance writing contest in 2014 and won my category. The final judge was the publisher of the WILD ROSE PRESS publishing company. She liked my entry, asked to see the manuscript, sent it to one of her editors and offered me a contract. 10 years and 65 books later I've had 4 publishers and now am mostly indie.

What was your biggest challenge in bringing the book to market and how did you solve it?

I had no challenges with any of the books I've indied. The challenge is always in getting the word out to readers who don't know my name or my work. I've done book signings, zoom events, even taught a few writing classes. The growth is slow — that is the biggest challenge I guess — but steady.

What's one piece of advice you have for other writers?

You are never too old to write the book of your heart. I was 55 years old when I got my first romance book published. 10 years and 65+ books later and I've never been happier!

Anything else you want folks to know?

To be a writer you need to be a reader first. Never give up on that because with each book you read, you actually learn to be a better writer because you learn what not to do, what doesn't work, and what does to make a book a great read.
