I’ve been a successful blogger and content creator for 15 years (I founded my lifestyle blog Dagmar’s Home in January 2009).
In the last few years, I’ve focused on another passion — writing contemporary romance novels. I’m getting ready to publish my first novel soon. My second one is also almost ready. I’m so excited for you to read them!
I’ve always enjoyed being a storyteller. That’s why I started blogging so many years ago. I’m hopelessly romantic and write the novels I want to read: dripping in romance and drama, sweet with a bit of heat.
They are small-town romances that invoke the sense of a slower and simpler life. I mostly focus on the two main characters — I don’t make you keep track of a whole village of characters. Each novel can be read as a standalone, but they are also connected by a few characters.
I’d describe my stories as super romantic, dramatic, and sweet — with a bit of heat. Think Gabriel’s Inferno meets Bella Andre or Lucy Score novels.
I’m what they call a “pantser” — an author who knows the beginning, maybe the middle, and the end of the story but doesn’t outline. I kind of let my characters tell me where they want to go, and I try to not get in the way. It’s such a fun writing experience. I hope you will enjoy my novels as much as I love writing them.
Early praise: “I just want to say again how great this book is. It’s sweet, and romantic, and funny, and well-paced. I really enjoyed it and now I want to go and live on a ranch lol! But truly, this book is a thing of beauty.”
