Chrissa Rose draws inspiration for her sports and small town romance novels from her life in a real-life Hallmark town in Ohio and her teenage and young adult years in southern California. She majored in English at Azusa Pacific University and began writing romance in her early twenties after falling in love with reading the genre as a teenager. When she's not writing, she can be found wrangling realtors at her day job, going on walks by the river with her dog, checking out local coffee shops, and watching baseball and hockey.
