Adeline J. McLeod is an indie romance author, a wife and mother, neonatal ICU nurse, and avid cake fan. Born and raised in Florida, she ironically despises the heat and dreams of mountain escapes. When she’s not caring for tiny patients or spending time with her family, she finds solace in creating and exploring magical worlds through reading and writing. She believes every love story deserves a touch of magic and a happily ever after.

Her journey into publication began in November 2024 with "The Inn & Its Keeper," a heartwarming cozy fantasy romance featured in Azala Press's anthology, "Hearthside and Heartstrings." Just weeks later, she released "A Billionaire for Christmas," a contemporary holiday romance novella, as part of the Sugar Peak Resort series, collaborating with three talented author friends.

Currently, Adeline is deep into her work-in-progress, expanding upon "The Inn & Its Keeper," which is set for release in the summer of 2025. Despite being relatively new to the professional writing scene, her passion for storytelling has been nurtured over many years through writing challenges and formal education. In fact, she holds a master’s degree in creative writing. Despite the cute and cozy stories she’s published, her heart beats for a thrilling dark fantasy horror romance inspired by Slavic folklore, a project that has been brewing for nearly a decade.

In the meantime, she's committed to exploring lighter romantic tales, which not only entertain but also help sharpen her writing craft. Above all, Adeline's biggest aspiration is to become a full-time author in hopes of inspiring her children to show that with dedication and hard work, dreams can become a beautiful reality.

If you’re interested in supporting that dream, feel free to check out her work and interact with her on social media! She loves to talk with readers and writers alike.
