Bronwyn Sell is many things—bestselling author, award-winning journalist, yogi, theatre nerd, karaoke hustler, soccer mum, lover of wines in the sun, perpetually terrified taker of creative risks—but at heart she’s an eternal romantic and optimist who is happiest playing with words and imaginary friends. She is proud to share her study with a coveted RITA® statuette, the world’s premier award for romance fiction.
