Her genre-hopping tendencies mirror the ebbs and flows of her ever-changing moods. Now comfortably settled in her forever home, Tess spends her days immersed in the world of writing, penning novels, adventures, and, of course, romances.

With at least a couple of decades left in the game of life, Tess is determined to keep her readers entertained because, in her world, laughter truly is the best retirement plan.
