About Callie Thomas
Writer & Coffee Lover
Callie Thomas is an indie author who loves all things fairy tales—including twisting tales of her own. Her favorite stories have a mix of sweet romance, laughter, and a pinch of magic. Since she enjoys reading multiple genres, her writing reflects the same, with books in both the YA fantasy and contemporary romcom genres. When she's not writing, she enjoys playing board games, reading at the beach, and sightseeing around the world with her husband and two boys. Her dream is to purchase an RV and write as she travels across the US, but until that can become a reality, you'll find her near the historical battlefields and lush woodlands where her family lives in Fredericksburg, VA.

Writes from the Heart
Why I write sweet romance:
I wrote A Forest of Stolen Memories, a YA fantasy, with my niece in mind. I wanted something that my sister and her daughter could read together. Most people would associate clean with boring--and that isn't the case at all. To me, I consider it a challenge. I write clean and yet still have to compete with other authors who don't. So, my story relies on having a solid foundation that will hook readers without all the physical stuff. Is there still romance? Absolutely, yes! There is still enough sizzle that will heat up the page and leave you wanting more. But I don't need to add the other stuff to make my story more enjoyable---it stands on its own. That means no cursing and only kisses, not just in this book, but in all my books.
