Margaret Locke is a 2018 RITA Finalist and a USA Today Bestselling Author who writes captivating and binge-worthy romances that keep her readers up past their bedtime. She delights in making readers think, laugh, and cry, as she believes that love matters. Margaret's love for romance novels started at a young age when she was just ten years old. After devouring all the children's books in the local bookmobile, she stumbled upon a book with a woman in a flowing green dress on the cover, which promised a story about a pirate. From that moment on, she was hooked.
Margaret's passion for witty repartee between the hero and heroine, the age-old dance of attraction vs. resistance, and the emotional satisfaction of a cleverly achieved Happily Ever After followed her through high school, college, and even grad school. However, it wasn't until she turned forty that she finally decided to make good on her teenage vow to write her own romance novels, rather than just consuming them. Margaret currently lives in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley in Virginia with her fantastic husband, two fabulous kids, and three funny felines. She admits that she's not an outdoors person and can usually be found in front of some sort of screen, be it electronic or a window.
In her spare time, Margaret enjoys interacting with fellow readers and authors. She can be found on various social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and Twitter. Margaret also has a website and blog, where she shares her thoughts on books, writing, and other random musings. Additionally, she has a Locked On Love Facebook Group, where she connects with her most dedicated readers. Margaret is always looking to expand her reader community, and she invites anyone who's interested to sign up for her Key Readers Email Club or follow her on BookBub to stay up to date on her latest releases.
