Author

Zoe writes cinnamon roll heroes, no matter how loud they growl. While she's always been a reader, her writing used to be limited to diary scribbles and bad (really bad) teenage poetry. Then she attempted to write her first novel in 2015 and never looked back. More than twenty books later, she's still in love with the art of making up stories - and making her characters fall in love. When she's not writing, Zoe loves spending time with her family. She's happily married to her best friend and has two boys and a very fluffy dog.
