Meet Gwen Sterling
Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt. -John Muir
I'm a contemporary romance author with a lifelong love of storytelling, history, and folklore. Born and raised in Texas, I draw inspiration from the landscapes, legends, and communities around me to create emotionally driven romances filled with conflict, chemistry, and heart.
Whether I'm writing about rivals falling in love, morally grey heroes, or relationships that refuse to follow the easy path, I'm always chasing stories that make readers feel something. If I don't feel anything while writing it, then I know it's not ready yet.
I've been writing stories since 2005 and sharing them online since my days on AO3 and FF. Writing has always been a constant in my life, and every project I write starts with far too much in my head.
As both a reader and writer, I have a soft spot for contemporary, paranormal, and dark romance. Give me enemies-to-lovers, slow burns, villains who get the girl, and the occasional fated mates romance.
And the rest..
If you don't like the road you're walking, start paving another one. -Dolly Parton
I currently live in Northern Englandwith my husband, 2.5 munchkins, two crazy cats, and three ferrets who seem determined to keep life interesting. Definitely a housefull.
When I'm not writing, you'll usually find me deep in a research rabbit hole (I'm more than happy to share my knowledge on center pivot irrigation until we all pass out!), watching documentaries long past midnight, or adding yet another enamel pin to my collection.
Have a rec? Feel free to DM or email it! I'm always down for more goodies to check out!
