Waitlyn Andrews

I'm a 30-something-year-old who misses the romantic optimism of a good '90s rom-com. Since I hope you'll read my books more than my bio, I'll spare you the run-on-sentences about who I am and give you some bullet points for what I'm about:

- HEA or I walk

- Strong female leads chasing a goal are more fun to cheer on

- Reformed Rakes do make for the best husbands, as Mrs. Bridgerton promised

- Miscommunication and cheating tropes make my skin crawl

- If I could live in a Nancy Meyers movie forever, I would. Specifically Parent Trap and Father of the Bride

- If I had to choose between the mountains or the ocean...I wouldn't. I love them both too much.

- I take the phrase “A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies...The man who never reads

Lisa Daily

I've been writing for a long time, since third grade actually, when I wrote a romance serial starring everybody's favorite hunky science teacher, Mr. G. Every day the girls would gather under the slide to hear the latest installment of Mr. G's feats of romance and bravery, which involved things like giving only the third grade girls cupcakes, or riding up on the playground on a white horse to save one of us from a boy with cooties.

The girls in my class were hooked, and so was I.

More than a few years later, I wrote a dating advice book called STOP GETTING DUMPED which miraculously hit the best seller list (thanks for that, everybody.)

A few years after that, I figured it might be even more fun to create a whole guy from scratch, and I wrote m
