Blair Harton has always wanted to write a novel—especially a love story.

After years of playing around with the idea of a rock star falling in love with a small-town girl, she wrote Love, Lydie as a brand-new mom living in Monterey, California.

Currently, she resides in Alexandria, Virginia, with her husband and two daughters.

When she’s not writing, she can be found cooking, camping, or enjoying a nice glass of Chardonnay.
