author, professional fan girl & award-winning dog petter
Hi! I’m Carly, a 29-year-old Chicago native. I’ve always been an avid reader thanks to my mom and grew up reading all genres, although romantic comedies and historical fiction have always been my go-to. It wasn’t until the pandemic that I finally became inspired to start writing and pursue my dream of becoming an author.
When I’m not writing a rom com or working (my full-time job is in brand marketing), I’m trying out new restaurants, watching a Grand Prix, spending time with my friends and family, walking my dogs, or binge-watching anything true crime related (I’m a Law & Order trivia champ).
