Rose Maefair

Rose writes humorous, heart-thumping romances fueled almost entirely by coffee and questionable life choices. A long-time gamer and fall enthusiast, she can often be found curled up in Southern Indiana with her two cats, plotting new adventures for her characters. When she’s not writing, she hangs out with friends or surprises everyone with karaoke skills that are, frankly, better than expected.

But that raised a big question: how do you make someone like that half of a believable HEA? How do you make him feel worthy of someone as wholesome as Bryce?

The answer was balance. I had to keep Alex dangerous, while letting small cracks show the man he could be. Writing is often a process of discovery,...

That Strange, Nerve-Wracking Space Between “Done” and “Released” I’m in

I’m in that odd holding pattern every author knows too well—the moment when everything that can be done is already done.
