Telling stories of love, laughter, and figuring yourself out—in Europe

WHO I AM

My name’s Avery — well, that’s my pen name anyway. I write witty, spicy contemporary romances about real women navigating love, friendship, and life in Europe’s most seductive cities.

My stories are inspired by the places I’ve lived (Rome, Barcelona, Vienna, Milan, London), the people I’ve met, and the occasional questionable life decision.

Basically, I write what I know: that messy, hilarious journey of life as a millennial woman trying to figure it out.

Otherwise I’m a perfectly normal adult with a job, a husband, and two cats who are, objectively, the cutest creatures alive.

WHAT I WRITE ABOUT

My stories are meant to make you laugh, blush, and maybe book a flight. They’re about women who don’t need saving — and men who are charming but human. There’s banter, chemistry, and the kind of happy endings that come from self-discovery, not a mortgage or a diamond ring.

Think escapism with both feet on the ground: sun-drenched cities, realistic flaws, and the joy of being imperfectly alive. What you won’t find? Billionaires, trauma plots, or toxic relationships of any kind. Just smart, funny, flawed people figuring out love — and themselves — one adventure at a time.

My novel ROME WHEN IT RAINS is coming summer 2026!
