Carolin Gall has always been an avid reader, forever losing herself in books long before she ever thought she’d write one of her own. Her debut novel, Alaskan Heartbeat, is the first in her Takaani Creek series, and she’s already busy writing book two. She loves creating heartfelt stories about imperfect people finding love in unexpected places.

When she isn’t writing, you’ll find Carolin working in marketing, spending time with her husband and two kids, or happily absorbed in hobbies like gardening, knitting, and sewing. She also has a big love for travel—whether that’s to new corners of the world or straight back to the small Alaskan town living in her imagination.
