But after a reading slump, where no plots seemed to satisfy, Kortney pulled out her laptop and started writing the "perfect" love story...or at least she tried. Writing love stories is her job...just kidding. Her real job is taking care of her five awesome kids and spending time with her husband.

Angela Bricker

I was raised in Houston, Texas where I gained a love for country music and Blue Bell ice cream, but at the age of seventeen I moved to Utah to attend BYU and fell in love with the mountains, the snow, and NO humidity, so I never left! I met my husband on my front porch in Provo, Utah, where our employer arranged for him to pick me up for a "new-hire" training meeting in Salt Lake City that I was too nervous to drive to alone.

Many years after that drive, a wedding, and four kiddos later, we still love living in beautiful Utah! When I'm not researching history and writing love stories, I'm going back to my roots singing country car karaoke, taste testing all the french fries in Utah county, or pretending to be an interior decorator.
