Peyton H. Roberts, M.A., is a creative writer, communications professional, and proud Navy spouse. Her stories have appeared in The New York Times, the Modern Love Podcast, Military Influencer Magazine, and more.

Her bestselling novel Beneath the Seams (Scrivenings Press, 2021) is contemporary women’s fiction about a popular dressmaker who gets tangled up in the dark side of the global fashion industry. Inspired by her sewing hobby and true events that unfolded while leading service trips overseas, this social impact story debuted as a #1 Amazon new release and was selected as a book club pick by Military Families Magazine and Kitabe Club, a women’s literary nonprofit in India.

Peyton’s forthcoming nonfiction, My Dearest Bea (Anchor Line Press, 2024), is an intimate collection of love letters her grandfather wrote to her grandmother aboard the USS Midway after embarking from Norfolk, Va., in the weeks following their wedding day. When the letters are found generations later, a timeless love story leaps off the page, and Peyton stumbles upon the priceless gift of meeting her grandparents in a new season of life—one she now shares as a Navy spouse herself.

A beach lover and expert boogie boarder, Peyton lives in Virginia Beach with her husband and two adventurous kids. Aside from writing, she looks forward to reading in the sunshine, traveling to magical places, and sharing home-cooked meals with family and friends.
