My Life Story
in a nutshell
I started writing when I was in college as a way for my brain to decompress after hours pouring over dense history text and writing papers. I was—am—a complete nerd, and although I loved history and thesis writing, something about writing raunchy romance just tickled my brain in the best way.
I live a quiet life in the suburbs.
When my husband and I started trying to conceive, and failed, I fell out of love with a lot of things. I'll make a blog post about that whole experience one day, but for now, just know that we suffered for years. I stopped reading, writing, crocheting, and everything else that used to bring me joy. I left my job.
Through the medical miracle of IVF and PGD testing, I had my wonderful double rainbow. I have two perfect little rascals, who I love deeply. I also have a dog, Lily, who filled the spaces in my heart while I was trying to conceive.
Love 'em all, but I didn't want them, or their friends, or the PTA, to know I write smut... thus,
Tiffany Costa, my scandalous alter ego, was born.
She was always inside of me, but it took hitting rock bottom to truly find her. I started reading and writing again during the Covid-19 quarantine, as a way to cope with the stress, and escape the scary reality we were living.
And I also downloaded TikTok.
I found a community of romance lovers that encouraged me to publish, and I'll always be grateful for that.
So welcome to my double life where I play house, work an office gig, and sit on the pickup line, while also writing forty page love scenes in an effort to singe off your pants.
Happy reading my friends :) Let's talk books, and life, and the mistakes I make along the way.
