Hi! I’m Staci.

I was the kid who stayed inside to read—four eyes, bad perm, book always in hand—but I had plenty of fictional friends to keep me company (Frodo, Bilbo, Kristy, Claudia and the gang, to name a few). In the third grade, I even wrote a teen murder mystery inspired by Christopher Pike books. It was twelve pages long, solved in about three, and terrible enough that I swore I’d never write again.

Lucky for us, I don’t like to be told what to do. Not even by me.

Now, I spend my days writing romcoms full of cheek and sass, with beastly, smirking heroes and banter that feels like a contact sport. My goal? To have you kicking your feet way past bedtime, and to hit that last page feeling like a millionty billionty bucks. When I’m not torturing my characters for fun, you’ll find me running Quirky Bird Covers, mainlining coffee, or pretending my TBR pile isn’t plotting against me.

Basically? I love books, I love words, and I love love—and if you do too? Well, I think we just became best friends.

Let’s make it official.

Got a question, a collab idea, or just want to gush about your latest book boyfriend? Slide into my inbox—I promise I’ll write back.
