Romance author Monica Walters is best known as the queen of “country hood” love stories. An Amazon bestselling author with multiple award nominations and a 2021 winner of Literary Jewels Literary Awards for Best Romance Author, Monica has always had a passion for creating different worlds with words.
Starting with poetry, writing has always been a constant in Monica's life. The interest began in her teenage years when she fell in love for the first time. Since then, her love for writing has only progressed. Song lyrics and poetry led to short stories, then one day in her downtime, a short story became a full-length novel, which was self-published in 2014.
Her first country hood love story, 8 Seconds to Love, led to a string of novels highlighting country living from rodeos to ranches, but with the characters maintaining the urban dialect that readers love from her. Monica was born and raised in Beaumont, Texas, but she now resides in Nome, Texas, where most of her country stories take place. Besides being a wife and mother, attaining a Bachelor of Science degree in sociology has only helped her become a better writer, understanding characters and their complex personalities.
