About | Katie Knightley

Hello and welcome!

I've been writing for most of my life, but didn't decide to complete a draft with the intent to publish until my mid-twenties. I started writing young adult contemporary romance and after a few years, I moved into the contemporary romance/rom com space and loved it.

It's no surprise since rom coms are one of my favorite genres to read and watch. I've always loved to read, and my binge era started in ninth or tenth grade with historical romance novels. From there I read contemporary and fantasy romance books, looking to escape into other stories and worlds, and get invested in the characters.

Because of that, I love fangirling all my favorite stories with you on the internet, including tv shows and movies, so please chat with me over there :)

Some facts about me:

My favorite tropes are forced proximity, fake dating, he falls first, and found family. The more tension and banter the better.

I always includes pieces of herself in mybooks and main characters, and they all share a love of caramel lattes.

I enjoy attending festivals and traveling, especially when history is involved.

Some favorite shows are FRIENDS, New Girl, Brooklyn 99, Schitt's Creek, The Great British Baking Show, and more.

I used to work at a zoo and have a big love for animals, especially big cats.

I work in the environmental field and try to share that knowledge in my books.

Sweets are my kryptonite, especially chocolate chip cookies and brownies with chocolate chips.

I live in Texas with my husband, two kids, and two cats.
