ⓘ About Tess Thompson
Tess loves lazy afternoons watching football, reading in bed, binge-watching television series, hanging out on the back patio with Best Husband Ever, red win, strong coffee, and walks on crisp autumn days. She never knows what she’ll make for dinner, laughs just a little too loudly, always complains about the rain even though she decided to live in Seattle, and looks ridiculous while kickboxing in an effort to combat her muffin top. Tess is proud to have grown up in a small town such as the ones in her books. After she graduated from the University of Southern California Drama School, she had hopes of becoming an actress, but found her calling writing fiction. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Blue Mountain Books series, Tess Thompson has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
