About this author

Courtney Cole is a novelist who would eat mythology for breakfast if she could.

She has a degree in Business, but has since discovered that corporate America is not nearly as fun to live in as fictional worlds.

Every Last Kiss is her debut novel and she followed it with the rest of The Bloodstone Saga (Every Last Kiss, Fated, With My Last Breath and My Tattered Bonds).

Courtney lives in quiet suburbia, close to Lake Michigan, with her real-life Prince Charming, her ornery kids (there is a small chance that they get their orneriness from their mother) and a small domestic zoo.

This gave me hope in more ways than one. The emotions were so real and raw, it was hard to believe I was reading fiction.

More of Courtney's books…
“What was it about relationships that made you feel so vulnerable? Oh, right. A relationship. In any relationship, you put yourself out there. You exposed all of your sensitive nerve endings and your heart and you just had to hope that you trusted the right person.”
Courtney Cole, Every Last Kiss

“I can’t let you break my heart. I don’t have much of it left.”
Courtney Cole, If You Stay

“I roll my eyes. 'Are you trying to find some sort of reason that I've become such an asshole? The reason is... I'm an asshole. There are some things in life that can't be explained. Period. Assholes are assholes. Rainbows are pretty. Kittens are cute. Chic flicks are sad. It's the way of things, no explanations.”
Courtney Cole, If You Stay

Topics Mentioning This Author

“You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.”
Mae West

“Holding anger is a poison...It eats you from inside. We think that by hating someone we hurt them...But hatred is a curved blade and the harm we do to others...we also do to ourselves.”
Mitch Albom, The Five People You Meet in Heaven

“People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.”
Mother Teresa

“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.”
Bernard M. Baruch

“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...”
Dr. Seuss, Oh, the Places You'll Go!

Faye Hi Courtney! First, I'd like to thank you for the friend request, one of my reasons being almost-addicted here in GR as much as I am in reading books is that I can have the privilege to talk to the authors and be friends with them (how cool is that, for me? haha)Second, thanks for the book recommendation and for taking the time to read my profile. I've already added the book in my TBR list. As of your book, I'm very intrigued about your plot and I would really like to curl up in bed while reading it. More powers for you! :)
