Tess Thompson

Tess Thompson is an acclaimed and USA Today Bestselling author, known for her work in historical and contemporary Romantic Women’s Fiction. Hailing from a small town, Tess has incorporated her experiences and appreciation for her roots into her writing, coining the phrase “Hometowns and Heartstrings” to encapsulate the essence of her books. Her stories are emotional and heartwarming, often exploring themes of second chances, redemption, and the transformative power of love and community.

Tess is married to her Prince Charming, who she affectionately refers to as the Best Husband Ever. Together, they have a blended family of four children and five cats. Despite their seventeen-month age gap, Tess proudly embraces her Cougar title. Her two daughters and two bonus sons are an integral part of her life, and she takes pride in their accomplishments and kind hearts. In her free time, Tess enjoys watching football, reading, and indulging in red wine and strong coffee. She also enjoys spending time with her family, whether it be at home or going for walks on crisp autumn days.

Raised in a small town, Tess attended the University of Southern California Drama School with aspirations of becoming an actress. However, she found herself drawn to writing fiction instead. She now spends most of her days in her office, matchmaking her characters while her beloved cat Mittens keeps her company. Tess is known for her friendly and approachable demeanor and loves hearing from her readers. She encourages her fans to reach out to her through her website or social media channels, where she is active and engaged with her followers. She is not, however, affiliated with the writing duo of Charlene Tess and Judi Thompson.
