Hi I'm Cortney!
I'm a mom to two wild boys, wife to my best friend, and writer of my favorite genres: romance and fantasy.
Most days you'll find me in jeans and a hoodie (even if it's warm outside) with a Diet Coke nearby.
Twilight sparked my journey into books and writing, and I'll read anything except horror. But, not to exclude Stephen King, I read (and loved) his book, On Writing.
My work has been influenced by Rebecca Yarros, Brigid Kemmerer, Brandon Sanderson, Carissa Broadbent, Victoria Aveyard, Sarah J. Maas, and so many others. I write early in the mornings, starting my day at 4:30 and end it with reading, which consists of a lot of textbooks right now as I near the completion of my bachelor's degree in marketing.

J.D. Ronan
J.D. Ronan is a reluctant storyteller.

Her office is cluttered with stacks of worn notebooks, and pages of poetry hidden away in tiny wooden boxes.
When she isn’t writing. Ronan is an avid reader of the dark fantasy genre, and a self-proclaimed binge reader. Avatar the Last Air Bender, Mulan, Star Wars, and the 2005 Pride and Prejudice are her favorite comfort watches. Each of which is on a strict, alternating rewatch schedule where she cuddles up with a coffee, her two cats Peter and Lily, along with her husband.
Ronan thanks you for taking the time to find her book in this little corner of the world, and encourages all of her readers to check her content warning page prior to purchasing The Fate of Vengeance series.
