Romy Sommer is the author of seven contemporary romance novels published by HarperCollins London, and she has also indie-published a further eight books, including "The Beginner's Guide to Writing Romance." Romy was the founder and first Chairperson of ROSA (Romance writers Organisation of South Africa). Through ROSA, she discovered a passion for teaching and mentoring aspiring writers, and, after two decades in film production, became a full-time writing coach and developmental editor. Though Romy's heart lies in Europe, she doesn't cope well with the cold, so she lives in sunny South Africa, in the City of Gold, Johannesburg, where she writes contemporary, feel-good fairy tale romances. She loves binge-watching foreign language Rom Coms on Netflix, travel and musical theatre. Her current obsession is romantic K-dramas.
