Hey you!It’s me, Freddie, and I’m so excited you’re here! I write character-driven coastal small-town contemporary romance that delivers an escape that feels like coming home and my characters have a snarky side, just like me! 🤷‍♀️Confession and ICYMI - this is my pen name. But! I'm a very real person (pinky swear) who lives on the west coast of the United States. I've always been an avid reader. As a fellow lover of all the words and all the feels, I promise you smexy happily-ever-afters ➡ one story at a time.I believe romance should be an immersive experience, both scorching and soul-deep. My stories are unapologetically steamy, and you can expect to fall in love not just with unforgettable characters but with the entire community where they happen.I still work full-time, so most of my writing is after business hours - weekends mostly, and some evenings (and always around the dogs wanting me to drop everything to play tug, which, of course, I do as they've trained me so well). This means I'm a slower writer due to all the IRL stuff but my day job does allow me to pay for all the things I need to get these books in front of your eyes.Gah! Can't wait to (virtually) meet you! 💕Muah!Freddie 💋
