Hi, I’m Tina!
Long before I started writing novels, my best friend and I spent our tween years rewriting the happily-ever-afters for our favorite soap opera couples. Eventually, the soap operas lost their appeal, but my love of storytelling never did.
Before becoming a full-time author, I wore a lot of hats—everything from baker and cake decorator to marketing and project management. Every job taught me something, but writing was always the dream I couldn’t let go of.
Today, I write the kind of romances I love to read. Stories filled with humor, heart, book boyfriends, found family, and happily-ever-afters. If one of my books makes you laugh, swoon, or forget about the real world for a few hours, I’ve done my job.
When I’m not writing, you’ll usually find me traveling, taking pole fitness classes, or spending time with my two grown children and my Golden Irish, Thea, who firmly believes she’s the real star of the family.
Whether you’re here to discover a new series, reconnect with old favorites, or simply escape into a story for a while, I’m so glad you’re here.
Fun Facts About Me
- ☕ I don’t drink coffee. I know…apparently that’s shocking for a romance author and a functioning adult.
- 🥤 Fountain Diet Coke is my love language. Bonus points if it’s from McDonald’s.
- 🐶 I share my home with my Golden Irish, Thea. She’s my writing buddy, professional tennis ball retriever, and convinced the world revolves around her.
- 🥖 I have a sourdough starter named Madge. She’s a little high-maintenance, but she rewards me with some pretty amazing bread.
- ⚾ I played baseball with the boys until I was fourteen. Maybe that’s why baseball keeps finding its way into so many of my books.
- 🌙 I’m a night owl. Most of my writing happens after 10 p.m., when the rest of the world is asleep.
- 📍 You’ll usually find me at a reader event, exploring a new city, or dreaming up my next happily ever after.
