Tess Thompson is a mother and bestselling novelist of romantic suspense. Like her characters in the River Valley Collection, Tess hails from a small town in southern Oregon, and will always feel like a small town girl, despite the fact she’s lived in Seattle for over twenty-five years. 

She loves music and dancing, books and bubble baths, cooking and wine, movies and snuggling. She cries at sappy commercials and thinks kissing in the rain should be done whenever possible. Although she tries to act like a lady, there may or may not have been a few times in the last several years when she’s gotten slightly carried away watching the Seattle Seahawks play, but that could also just be a nasty rumor.

Tess lives in a suburb of Seattle, Washington with her two daughters and two cats. They recently combined their home with the love of her life along with his two sons and three cats. This modern “Brady Bunch” family — yes, you read it correctly — four kids and five cats — live in a suburb of Seattle, Washington. In spite of their busy household, Tess manages to turn out three books a year, keeping her fans satisfied with such hits as “Riversong,” “Riverbend,” and “Riverstar” as well as many others.
