About the author
Haley Langwood
50 books2 followersI’m fifty-something, and I started on my first book in 2012. Some people call me a late bloomer, and I guess I am. I married my wonderful hubby when I was thirty-three years.
According to my mother, it took me too long to get married and finally settle down. I think that it was just the right time. I don’t have kids. I have two dogs who are my life.
I’m a dreamer, always have been, always will be. I believe in true love and romance. I believe in people. I have two dogs, and they are everything to me. That’s why I wrote a story about them; it’s called “Rescues.”
After living in Germany for the last twelve years, my husband and I moved back to the Netherlands where we both were born and raised. Writing stories is my second passion because my two dogs are my first passion.
I love summer. I’m a vegetarian, and my husband and I love to cook vegetarian meals from scratch; it’s fun. If I’m not working or busy writing a story, I spend most of my time with my dogs.
