S.L. Adams

Writing romance started out as a hobby and an escape from the stresses of my day job. I tried Amazon first, finding no success. I decided I wanted the interaction and feedback from readers more than money. I started publishing on Inkitt, where I found the audience I was looking for. One day, I received an email from their sister app, Galatea, offering a contract for Journey’s End. Things took off from there, and I now have 7 books published on the app, and a nice little side hustle.
