I'm the author of many novels, including my debut, SEE JANE DATE (also available in cute TV movie form to stream); THE LOVE GODDESS' COOKING SCHOOL; and THE BABY SWITCH. I've had two novels published under a secret pen name, but I will happily share if you message me to ask! I'm now writing romances for Harlequin Special Edition. Lots coming in 2023! I also wrote seven Special Edition novels (in the Hurley's Homestyle Kitchen series 2016-2017) under the pen name Meg Maxwell. The Hurley's Homestyle Kitchen series is full of love, romance, sisterhood, relationships, and happy endings, of course. Note: I only wrote these 7 Harlequin Special Titles under the name Meg Maxwell so if you see any other Meg Maxwell novels, that is a different author! I'm a proud mom and animal devotee who lives on the coast of Maine. Hope you'll visit my website: http://www.melissasenate.com
