Kieran Kramer, USA Today bestselling author and double Rita finalist, has written eleven historical romances and contemporaries for St. Martin's Press. She's currently writing a Charleston-based contemporary matchmakers series: the first book, Christmas at Two Love Lane, is on shelves now. Wedding at Two Love Lane comes out in January 2018. Second Chance at Two Love Lane arrives in October 2018.

Kieran was born in Washington, D.C. to an Air Force pilot father and actress/singer mother. She grew up mainly on Johns Island, a rural sea island near Charleston, South Carolina, where she helped build her family’s log home. Over the years she's worked as a high school English teacher and journalist for The Charlotte Observer, but most of the time, she was a stay-at-home mom to three children. She and her naval officer husband Chuck are now empty nesters in the Lowcountry of South Carolina.

Fun fact: she was chosen in local auditions and won on both Wheel of Fortune and Family Feud. She's also run with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain!
