Word of South

Ivy Fairbanks

Ivy Fairbanks writes romantic dramedies that are equal parts steamy and irreverent, where realistic characters find tender happily-ever-afters. 

Living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome has made her a believer in the importance of representation in romance. She lives in the Tampa Bay Area with her husband and son. At any given moment, she is probably trapped under a sleeping tabby cat. Proud member of the Florida chapter of Authors Against Book Bans
