Grace McGinty is a romance and urban fantasy author who developed a love for the genre at a young age. When she was nine, her grandmother and her friends used to read and swap Harlequin Mills and Boons novels. After being caught reading one, they began sneaking her boxes full of books featuring strong heroines and rugged men. This introduction to the romance genre sparked a lifelong love for the genre in McGinty.
As she grew older, McGinty's taste in literature expanded to include urban fantasy. She was drawn to the broody Alphas and sexy paranormals that are often found in these stories. The combination of her love for romance and urban fantasy was a natural fit. In addition to these genres, McGinty also discovered reverse harem, which she describes as "Oh my. Why choose, am I right?" This revelation further broadened her writing horizons and added a new dimension to her stories.
