Celia Bonaduce is an award-winning author, podcast writer and tv producer. Before becoming a full time novelist, Celia spent fifteen years as a producer-director in lifestyle programming. Her shows include ABC’s EXTREME MAKEOVER – HOME EDITION and HGTV’s House Hunters.

As a novelist with Kensington Publishing, Celia has written three trilogies: The Venice Beach Romances, The Welcome To Fat Chance,Texas Trilogy, and The Tiny House series. The Tiny House series won top honors with a Grand Finalist nod from New Apple Official Selection, first place in the Book Excellence Awards, and Gold from both The National Federation of Press Women and the Elite Choice Awards.

Celia is also the co-author of A Texas Kind of Christmas, written with Jodi Thomas and Rachael Miles. A Texas Kind of Christmas was an Amazon Number 1 best seller in Historical Romance and also took gold from The National Federation of Press Women.

Cancer got in the way of traveling for House Hunters in 2018-2019, but did not stop Celia’s creativity. While the road to her first non-fiction book was anything but SMOOTH (the title of her book on tips for getting through Chemo),it was a path she felt compelled to explore.

Celia has returned to writing with New York Times bestseller, Jodi Thomas. They continue to explore the world of modern day, small-town Texas life, which readers of Jodi's book-and-Netflix series Ransom Canyon have grown to love.
