edit data

Contemporary romance/new adult author of A Brush With Fame, Edge of Eighteen, and Heart Wreck.

Habitual latte drinker. It’s all about the creamer...

Collector of Betsey Johnson jewelry.

Works with students and is a soccer mom, literally.

Enjoys beta male stories and low angst, preferring outside conflicts rather than arguments on every page. I want to fall in love with the couple and see them earn their happily ever after.

“I wrote my first novel because I wanted to read it.”

- Toni Morrison ...more

Meeting Colleen Hoover

Met Colleen Hoover at Changing Hands Bookstore in Tempe, AZ. She was very nice. Wore my new LuLaRoe Amelia dress for the photo. And got a signed copy of All Your Perfects! 😀
