TJ O’Shea is an award-winning sapphic romance author. She lives for witty banter, big, messy love, and a dash of angst. If stranded on a desert island with just one trope, she hopes it would be grumpy/sunshine. O’Shea has never met a cinnamon roll she didn’t love—both in print, and in pastry.

If she’s not writing, you might find her playing video games, watching films, or shouting answers at Jeopardy! reruns. Otherwise, she’s likely in New Jersey, enjoying a bagel with her wife, daughter, and cat, and making the best out of this one wild and precious life.
