Meet the Author

Hi, I’m Kiki (or kirilee), Indie romance author, hopeless romantic, and lover of emotional small-town stories filled with found family, heartbreak, healing, angst, and just the right amount of spice.

I’ve loved books for as long as I can remember and spent years daydreaming about becoming an author myself. For the longest time, I never thought it was something I could actually do, so instead, I found my place in the online bookish community as a book reviewer and content creator. Then one day, my husband looked at me and said, “Babe, you really should write your own book.”

It still took me another two years to fight through the imposter syndrome and self-doubt… but eventually, I did the damn thing.

Now I’m living out the dream younger me always wished for,

Based on the Gold Coast, Australia, I write small-town romance novels full of angst, healing, tension-filled slow burns, spice, and characters that feel real. My stories are for readers who love emotional roller coasters, found family, and sitting on the edge of their seats. The kind of romance that stays living rent-free in your head.

When I’m not writing, you’ll usually find me reading romance or fantasy books, training at the gym, baking in the kitchen, or heading out on family days with my husband, son, and our two French bulldogs.

I love connecting with readers and sharing all the BTS chaos that comes with balancing writing and real life. From sneak peeks and character teasers to Instagram story bookish chats and life updates.

So whether you’re here for the angst, the spice, the small-town feels, or the fictional men to obsess over… Welcome to my corner of the internet. I’m so happy and grateful to have you here.
