Inglath Cooper fell in love with reading as a little girl, devouring most of the books in her elementary school library. At some point, she decided she wanted to write contemporary romance novels and relationship stories that did for others what her favorite books have done for her. “I love character-driven books that leave me feeling as if I’ve really known these people and make me wish I didn’t have to turn the last page.”
“Contemporary romance novels and women’s fiction have always appealed to me because they deal with so many of the relationships in a woman’s life. Not only the love of her life, but often her relationship with her mother, sister or best friend. There’s so much room in this type of book to explore many of the meaningful moments and transitions in women’s lives.”
Inglath most often writes stories about love and life that are set in small Virginia towns like the one where she grew up. “I like to think the flavor of my hometown shows up in my books both in their setting and through the characters who people it.”
Inglath is a winner of the RITA Award for best long contemporary romance novel given out each year by Romance Writers of America. Her books have been described as a combination of Danielle Steel meets Luanne Rice.
Outside of writing, Inglath is actively involved in animal rescue, working with The Franklin County Humane Society to place dogs and cats in need of rehoming.
