Cate Tayler

About

Cate is a beach baby born and raised on the New England shore. She met the love of her life while serving in the US Air Force, and after extensive overseas travel, settled near the Catoctin Mountains to raise a family. 

When she’s not busy living her own happily-ever-after, she’s creating them—but not before making her characters (and readers!) suffer a little to make the ending all that more sweet.

In addition to writing, her passions include cooking, everything 80s, Hallmark movies, and cheering on her kids. She loves Jessica Fletcher, planner stickers, sparkly things, murder, and a nice smooth bourbon.
