ABOUT THE AUTHOR

After nearly half a decade of practicing law, Kim Swizz is now a recovering attorney, living her best life writing small-town romance. Kim has always had a passion for creative writing and has come a long way from the book she wrote and had bound in first grade, a titillating story entitled “The Cat is Eating.”

A forever Jersey girl turned former Arizona resident, Kim now calls Boston home with her husband, though they love to travel together.

When she is not writing spicy scenes or making her readers cry, you can find her crocheting tiny things, knitting, embroidering, cross-stitching, bullet journaling—you get the point. Kim is never without her emotional support Kindle and is an avid F1 fan, keeping up with news on all the drivers, but mostly Carlos Sainz.

Kim is an unapologetic Disney adult who loves the smell of fall, small animals, and dancing her heart out (and Carlos Sainz).

ABOUT IN THE STARS REWRITTEN

Seven months ago, Scott Preston visited home and met the girl of his dreams. She’s fierce, loud, authentic, kind, and gorgeous in a way that altered his brain chemistry. But fate wasn’t having it, and they both went to their respective homes hundreds of miles apart. Now he’s back, and she’s standing in his house. He’s determined not to let her go again, but she’s hesitant to take that leap.

Piper Price is used to being the life of the party, the one you call for a great time. She’s always said she’s good in small doses, but she’s rarely found anybody interested in sticking around. She wants stability and a partner, but she isn’t willing to lose herself to get that. Now she’s tangled up in the small town of Wilcox Grove, and is terrified one wrong step will tear everything apart.

In the Stars Rewritten is a small-town, second chance, roommates, he falls first, golden retriever MMC adult romance.

ABOUT THE CONVERSATION PARTNER

Ila is a hopeless romantic who loves to write small town stories with found family, banter, happy endings, and a dash of spice.

Born and raised in Massachusetts, an overly emotional pisces, she is a girl mom to the coolest kid ever, married to the boy she had a crush on in high school, and completely obsessed with her cat.

When she’s not writing, you can find her and the family checking every Disney destination off their bucket list, speaking in song lyrics, binging early 2000s tv shows, reading books that make her cry, and sending ridiculously long voice memos to her friends.

ABOUT FOR THE HOPE OF IT ALL

When Margot LeClair decides to uproot her life for a fresh start in a small town, she's focused on finding herself. The last thing she's thinking of is the guy she went on one date with a year ago...Until she finds out that same guy is her new neighbor.

Sawyer Hale has always known he was meant to be in Merrymount. And when he ended things with his on and off again girlfriend for the last time, he was more than okay with being alone...Until the girl that got away moves in next door.

Is it fate or another case of right person, wrong time?

ABOUT DAYLIGHT

Gwendolyn "Red" Bozelli is Merrymount personified. She's the first person to offer help to anyone, is a cheerleader to all, remembers the little things, and loves hard. But for the past couple years, it's been the greatest performance of her life. When every hope, plan, and dream came crashing down, Red became a shell of what once was.

Enter Miller Caswell and his adorable, spitfire of a daughter, Penelope, who have only known life as just the two of them. That is, until they find themselves living in an apartment above Red's cafe. Miller is quiet and keeps to himself. He doesn't know what love is beyond what he taught himself while raising his daughter on his own.

Miller sees Red. He sees everything she is and hopes to be, and fully intends to break down every wall she's built around her heart. But can he make her believe in happily ever afters again?
