Hi. I'm Cara. You might know me from...

My romance novels, my breast cancer book, my work at Edit My Novel, or the Skip to the Good Part podcast.

I'm the award-winning USA Today bestselling author of 38 books and counting. 


My first novel, I Do (But I Don't), was made into a Lifetime movie currently streaming on Amazon Prime. I wrote the novelization of Meghan Markle's Hallmark movie The Dater's Handbook.


I'm a women's health advocate and breast cancer survivor, who wrote There's No Good Book For This But I Wrote One Anyway: The Irreverent Guide to Crushing Breast Cancer. Because humor might just be your secret weapon in the fight against cancer.


I co-host the Skip to the Good Part podcast with my husband, PJ, where we interview romance authors about their books and writing process. I also own my own editing company, Edit My Novel, where I help new writers polish and publish their books.


I believe we should all help one another, uplift one another, celebrate love, and shine our light into the darkest corners. That's the only way to help others find their way out, when their own light grows dim.
