Julie Cassidy fell in love with books at the age of five and has been writing her own ever since. After stints as a journalist and social media manager, she now works in public relations by day and writes funny, sexy contemporary romance novels by night. Her books feature characters chasing after their dreams — and finding happily ever after along the way.

When she’s not writing, she can probably be found doing a crossword puzzle, spending too much time on social media, or indulging in her love of reality TV by watching a Real Housewives franchise or Vanderpump Rules.

Originally from Pittsburgh, she now lives near Chicago.
