A native New Yorker, USA TODAY Bestselling author Chris Keniston was on her way to Australia when she fell in love with North Texas. Little did she know the balmy seventy-degree October days would turn into fry-an-egg-on-the-sidewalk heat in August! Twenty years later, she started scribbling short stories about her favorite TV show characters, giving them lives more to her liking, as well as the elusive happy ending. Not long after, a dear friend dragged her to a local writer's meeting. After winning multiple writing contests and making the finals in the Romance Writers of America's prestigious Golden Heart contest, she now spends her days and nights writing contemporary romantic fiction with lots of emotion, plenty of surprises, and, of course, the happily ever after.
