Lex Martin is the USA Today bestselling author of Varsity Dads, Texas Nights, and the Dearest series. She writes contemporary romance novels, the steamy kind she hopes readers love but her parents avoid.She's always been obsessed with writing, starting in elementary school when she would pen short stories and make her father read them. (Afterward, she'd make him take her tests, but he was a good sport and did them without complaint.) In high school, when she wasn't playing basketball, she wrote emo poetry and worked on the school newspaper.She later became a nationally-certified high school English teacher and freelance journalist but decided she'd rather write romance novels than tests or city hall articles.Lex loves coffee, rom coms, pen hoarding, planners, and college football. She married her almost college sweetheart (they met right after graduation), and she's still obsessed with him, especially when he writes her songs.She currently resides in her hometown of San Antonio with her husband, twin daughters, a bunny, and their puppy. Drop her a line. She loves hearing from readers.
