I'm a survivor of breast cancer and a bestselling author. I wrote There's No Good Book For This But I Wrote One Anyway: The Irreverent Guide to Kicking Breast Cancer to help women feel less alone. Because humor might just be our best weapon, and as an editor, I've ensured that the message resonates with others facing similar challenges.

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 bestselling author of 38 books and counting. My first novel, I Do (But I Don't), was adapted into a Lifetime movie that is currently streaming on Amazon Prime. Additionally, I wrote the novelization of Meghan Markle's Hallmark movie, The Dater's Handbook. 


As a women's health advocate and breast cancer survivor, I penned There's No Good Book For This But I Wrote One Anyway: The Irreverent Guide to Crushing Breast Cancer, because I believe 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 processes. Furthermore, I run my own editing company, Edit My Novel, where I assist new writers in polishing and publishing their books. 


I truly believe we should all help one another, uplift each other, 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.
