I'm a photographer turned travel writer turned indie romance author (a jack of all trades?) I write books with relatable heroines and charismatic, mysterious heroes. So, how'd I go from a travel writer to a romance author? I won a prestigious travel writing award, got gifted with a huge travel writing assignment... and was then told by my mentor that my writing was better suited to writing books. So here I am!

I live in Los Angeles with my husband, two adorable sons, and two cats. I'm a coffee lover (plain with just a splash of milk, in case you were wondering) and my husband and I collect houseplants like they're going out of style. I'm obsessed with the royal family (my first book was a romantic mystery involving a descendant of the Tudors... it will never see the light of day...) and I love to travel. Even though travel writing didn't work out, I still dream up rich settings for each of my books. Find out more here: www.authoramandarichardson.com
