Maddie Maddox

Maddie is reliable, easygoing, and always arrives a few minutes early. When she's not writing spicy romance, she enjoys hiking, secondhand bookstores, and making surprisingly good pie from whatever fruit happens to be in season.

She maintains a spreadsheet ranking every public bench she's ever sat on, with notes about "atmosphere" and "emotional support." The local squirrels stop what they're doing when she walks past, which she insists is just mutual professional respect.
