Annie McQuaid writes contemporary romance with a side of adventure and is repped by Cathie Hedrick Armstrong at Marsal Lyon Literary Agency. 

Like many writers, Annie’s love of books started young. She was a flashlight-under-the-covers reader devouring everything from The Babysitter’s Club to Sweet Valley High. After a brief R.L. Stein and Stephen King phase, she found her way to Harlequin romances and has been a sucker for a happy ending ever since.

Annie McQuaid lives in Raleigh, North Carolina, and works as a marketing director for an education technology company. When she’s not putting her characters in life-or-death situations, you can find spending time with her adorable nieces and spoiling her sweet cat, Sadie.
