edit data

Jan Gallagher Dunn believes everyone deserves a love story. She writes clean, small-town romances where family and friends get involved. Characters grow and surprise themselves, and the couple always get their happy ever after.

She lives in Minnesota with her husband and Norman, a rescue Pug/Boston Terrier mix with a taste for flip flops and TV remotes. When she's not writing, she's knitting scarves, buying yarn she doesn't need, talking to her houseplants, or waiting for spring to arrive.
She enjoys reading romances. Writing them felt inevitable.

Sweet romances and swoony ever afters.
