Tiffany Tingle

Tiffany Tingle never expected her career as a small-town book nerd to take such a steamy turn. After spending her days cataloging romance novels and her nights wondering what happened to all the good aliens, she decided to write the extraterrestrial love stories she desperately wanted to read. Armed with an overactive imagination, a collection of vintage sci-fi B-movies, and what her mother politely calls "too much curiosity about the universe," Tiffany crafts tales that are equal parts cosmic and carnal.

When she's not busy researching UFO sightings or perfecting her alien anatomy (for purely literary purposes, she insists), Tiffany can be found hiking the Ozark Mountains, collecting vintage lingerie "for inspiration," and maintaining an impressive collection of houseplants she's convinced are actually alien spies. She holds a self-awarded PhD in "What Would Happen If..." scenarios.

Her debut novella Abducted Love emerged from a particularly vivid dream after binge-watching Ancient Aliens and eating too much spicy Thai food. The success led to her upcoming releases Ashes & Embers and Dating the Were-Squatch, proving that Missouri's most unlikely romance author has officially launched into orbit.

Tiffany lives in a converted Victorian farmhouse outside Springfield with her three cats (Mulder, Scully, and Princess Leia), where she writes beneath a collection of glow-in-the-dark constellation stickers and maintains that the truth is definitely out there—and probably very attractive.
