Tess Thornton writes inspirational western romances from her Oregon horse farm. She has a science degree she never uses because she’s better at daydreaming than keeping schedules. Her authentic western stories are inspired by the real ranching life and the people she loves.

Tess’s days are filled with country kids, stubborn dogs, and one special guy in a cowboy hat. She spends more time cleaning the barn than the house, and she should never be left unsupervised with power tools. When she’s not fantasizing about training a champion reining horse, she likes to head to the beach with her family and her book. And don’t forget the snacks.

If you enjoy stories about strong, imperfect people who just happen to be perfect for each other, families pulling together through thick and thin, and heart-pounding horseback adventures, then you might enjoy Tess’s books.
