USA Today Bestselling author Monique McDonell is an Australian author who writes contemporary women’s fiction including chick lit and sweet romance.
She has written all her life especially as a child when she loved to write short stories and poetry. At University she studied Creative Writing as part of her Communication degree.
Afterwards she was busy working in public relations and didn’t write for pleasure for quite a few years although she wrote many media releases, brochures and newsletters. (And still does her day-job!)
When she began to write again Monique noticed a trend – writing dark unhappy stories made her unhappy. So she made a decision to write a novel with a happy ending and has been writing happy stories ever since.
Monique is the author of twenty five novels and novellas including Mr. Right and Other Mongrels and Hearts Afire and the Upper Crust Series. She has also has books in the multi-author Cinnamon Bay and No Brides Club romance series. Many of her novels focus on an Australian characters meeting and visiting US characters. Monique likes to say she writes men you want to fall in love with and women you would want to be friends with.
