About Lucy Day
Lucy Day writes big-hearted love stories about feisty women, swoon-worthy heroes, and the messy and imperfect ways they come together. She loves quirky characters who blaze their own trail toward happy-ever-after, and writes with the hope of putting more love into the world.
Originally from South Carolina, Lucy currently lives in Iowa, where she’s cooking up her next romance. She’s published more than 10 books across two pen names, plus a number of short stories (including one that was awarded the Family Circle Fiction Prize.) When she’s not writing, you can find her drawing birds, wreaking havoc on the potter’s wheel, and attempting to keep her orchids alive.
Lucy’s awards include the 2024 Writer’s Digest Grand Prize, the 2024 Next Generation Indie Book Award for Series Fiction, and the Independent Publisher (IPPY) Award, Silver Medal in Romance (The Almost Lovebirds, 2023 and One Sweet Holiday, 2024). She’s a former creative writing instructor and a current member of the Women’s Fiction Writers Association.

About Jasmine Falls
Jasmine Falls is a fictional town set in the lowcountry of South Carolina. As a teen, Lucy spent her summers in that part of the state, where she fell in love with the landscape and the people. It’s a place with warm summer breezes, lots of fireflies, and hot days that leave you looking for the nearest swimming hole.
Jasmine Falls is a mash-up of a few towns that Lucy visited over the years, but the Congaree National Park is very real. It’s a unique place that is a character all its own, serenely beautiful and full of surprises—just like the small towns around it.
And that warbler in The Almost Lovebirds? It’s real, too. And still a bit of a mystery.
