The Matchmakers, by Jennifer Colgan

Two wrongs don’t make a right, but they just might make a perfect match…

Nick Garret is flypaper for females, and he likes it that way. Women stick for a while, and when it’s over they fly away. So does he. Then one rain-slick night a young woman steps in front of his pickup truck, and his jaded, cynical life takes a sharp swerve toward trouble.

Calliope did the only thing she could think to get Nick to steer his truck—and his life—in a new direction. Banished from the Fae realm for granting a wish gone bad, her punishment is an impossible task; redeem the unredeemable Nick Garret. If she fails to help him pair three couples in everlasting bliss, he’s doomed to never experience real love. And she will share his fate—as a mortal.

Nick can’t decide if this charming, exasperating woman is a dream come true, or a saucy, sexy nightmare sent to drive him insane. Yet something about her makes him want to rise to her challenge. He’ll do anything to make her stick around a while.

Besides, how much trouble can one half-naked, seemingly wingless faerie be?


An avid reader all her life and an aspiring writer since the age of ten, Jennifer Colgan was inspired by the romance novels she devoured as a teen as well as the science fiction classics. Since beginning her career, she’s branched out from science fiction romance into paranormal, contemporary and even historical genres. Jennifer currently lives in the NY-NJ Metropolitan area with her husband of seventeen years, two creative children, a slightly neurotic Dalmatian and two spirited black cats. When not hard at work on a novel or short story, she spends her time reading, quilting and haunting the local craft stores.

Book Review Submission Guidelines


If you've published a book, I want to read it!

I am open to submissions from traditional, e- and self-publishers.

I love contemporary, romance, fantasy, science fiction, suspense, western and young adult novels. I shy away from gore for the sake of gore, horror, and eroticism that verges on porn. If you send something that simply doesn't work for me, I will let you know so you can send it elsewhere.

Send a note with the title of your novel, its format, and a brief (one paragraph) description to Editor Jennifer. I will email back submission details.

Satisfied Customers


"Jennifer Feddersen has an eye for detail that didn't just improve my novel, but my writing. Feddersen pointed out the problems with my novel along with how to fix and spot them on my own. She also picked up on issues dealing with the depth of my characters. Her report was professional and honest. She gave me the type of feedback that is priceless in the publishing industry. I will definitely use her again."

I loved the detailed and time-consuming edit Jennifer Fedderson did for my novel. I believe that her professional feedback and comprehensive review have strengthened my voice, style and overall marketability. I look forward to working with Jennifer again on more projects. And I will absolutely recommend her editing services to anyone who wants to take their writing to the next level.

More About Jennifer...

Jennifer's fate was sealed when she aced the English portion of the SAT and received a BA in English from the University of Pennsylvania (with a concentration in Medieval Languages - Latin, Old English, Old Icelandic and a smidge of Greek). Although she briefly tried finance, child care, and even a foray into chicken farming, she couldn't escape her destiny - working with the written word.

From tutoring high school students to pass the SAT, to writing and editing copy for a distributing/manufacturing company, to teaching Latin, to writing textbooks, to proofreading novels, to judging short story contests, Jennifer has used her talent for spotting mistakes to benefit employers, clients and friends.
