Writing Sweet, Realistic Romances for Life’s New Chapters

Hi there, friend!

I’m Luna, and I believe wholeheartedly that the most beautiful chapters of our lives often begin after 40. As someone who has navigated my own seasons of change—empty nests, new beginnings, and the quiet courage it takes to trust love again—I write the stories I wish I could have found on my own journey.

My heroines aren’t waiting for life to happen; they’re busy living it. They’re opening flower shops at Pike Place Market, finding unexpected romance over morning coffee, and discovering that vulnerability is actually our greatest strength. These are women who know that real love isn’t about perfection—it’s about showing up, scars and all, and being brave enough to try again.
