Hi! I'm Louise, a contemporary romance author and hopeful romantic writing steamy romances full of heart and healing.
My goal is to always provide Black women with diverse and meaningful representation in romance novel pages. Wanting see even more women like myself headlining positive love stories, I launched #HappyBlackRomance; a community of readers and writers committed creating and sharing positive romance stories featuring Black characters.
My plots highlight the joys of Black relationships across the diaspora; pushing readers from all cultural backgrounds to admire them for their strength and downright sexiness. In my novels sparks always fly; the sex amazes; and the characters always leave the world better than they found it through their love.
When I'm not writing, I enjoy my work as a school leader, wife, and mother of the two cutest dragons to ever walk the earth!
