Jill Marie is a native of southern California who, after a whirlwind life as a military wife, now makes her home in North Carolina, where she serves at the beck and call of two purebred cats and one adorable granddaughter. Obsessions include all things animal rescue, fairytale romances, knowing the lyrics to all the best songs from old musicals, and perfecting the perfect pastry crust.

​

In her former career as a historical romance novelist, Jill Marie won numerous awards, including the Carol Award and RWA's Inspirational Readers' Choice Award. Now she prefers her novels to include a dash of magic along with the spine-tingling romance.
