Hi I'm Cortney! I'm a mom to two wild boys, wife to my best friend, and writer of my favorite genres: romance and fantasy. Most days you'll find me in jeans and a hoodie (even if it's warm outside) with a Diet Coke nearby. Twilight sparked my journey into books and writing, and I'll read anything except horror. But, not to exclude Stephen King, I read (and loved) his book, On Writing. My work has been influenced by Rebecca Yarros, Brigid Kemmerer, Brandon Sanderson, Carissa Broadbent, Victoria Aveyard, Sarah J. Maas, and so many others. I write early in the mornings, starting my day at 4:30 and end it with reading, which consists of a lot of textbooks right now as I near the completion of my bachelor's degree in marketing. My two favorite quotes are: "You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems." -James Clear "A ship is safe in harbor, but that's not what ships are built for." -William G. T. Shedd
