About me


Tessa lives nestled among Utah’s stunning mountains with her husband and three children. She prefers admiring the peaks with a warm mug of coffee over skiing or hiking them, but she’s been known to do both on occasion.

For money, she works part-time as an engineering consultant. For joy, she stays home with her kids. And in every stolen moment between the two, she writes.

Tessa believes the best stories take you somewhere far and strange, and leave you changed when you return. Her books focus on real characters in unreal situations—for readers who crave escape, big feelings, and hard-earned happy endings.

When she’s not writing, she’s likely feeding her perpetually hungry children, juggling their absurdly busy schedules, or crafting an excuse to open a bottle of wine.
