A Day in the Life of a Contemporary Romance Author, Night Owl, and Dog Mom
If you’re a fan of contemporary romance novels, you probably imagine authors writing in quiet studios with endless time to craft perfect love stories. The truth? My life as a romance author is full of chaos, family, and furry distractions.
I’m a single mom raising three kids ages 19-25 who all still live at home. Alongside them are my loyal pack of four French Bulldogs and one ADHD pug. Living on the East Coast, I write steamy contemporary romance novels late at night when the house finally settles.
☕ Morning Madness: Dogs, Coffee & Family Life
My mornings start with feeding the dogs and navigating a busy household. It’s not always peaceful, but it’s real—and we always find ways to have fun.
📚 Afternoon Inspiration: Plotting Small-Town Romance and Slow-Burn Love
While managing household chaos, I’m always thinking about my next small-town romance or slow-burn enemies-to-lovers story. I jot down ideas, develop characters, and work on the emotional tension that keeps readers turning pages.
🍽️ Evening Hustle: Family Time and Dog Zoomies
Evenings mean dinner, dog playtime, and family catch-ups. It’s busy but full of love—much like the heartfelt romances I write. These moments inspire the warm, real connections that readers crave in contemporary romance novels.
🔥 Night Owl Writer: Where the Magic Happens
Once the house quiets down, I make my tea, grab my laptop, and dive into writing. This is when the steamy love scenes, emotional breakthroughs, and heartfelt moments come alive. Writing late at night lets me pour my heart into each story, whether it’s a second-chance romance or a gritty, slow-burn love story.
✍️ Why I Write Contemporary Romance
I love love and I write to capture the messy, beautiful journey of it—the kind that’s imperfect but unforgettable. My books feature relatable heroines, gritty heroes, and the kind of emotional depth that keeps readers hooked.
