Published in romance fiction since 1997, Maddie James has run the gamut of publishing options from traditional publishers, to small press, to independent publishing. She is the bestselling author of over 50 novels, novellas, and short stories. Her books are available in ebook, print, and some in audiobook, are distributed worldwide, and have been translated into at least seven languages.
Writing as Maddie James, she focuses on
Love in the Heartland -- contemporary stories of small towns and ranches -- including cowboys, and the boy/girl next door. Occasionally, she may heat things up with a little spice, or a hint of the paranormal. Affaire de Coeur said, “James shows a special talent for traditional romance.”

As Madelaide James, she explores the real-life, complicated relationships and situations of women, men, and families, and tackles some of those problems through her women's fiction stories.
As
M.L. Jameson, she writes sexy, dangerous, and often steamy romantic suspense. RT Book Reviews claimed, “James deftly combines romance and suspense, so hop on for an exhilarating ride.”

[Note: Rebranding for the Madelaide and M.L. pen names is currently a work in progress, especially for romantic suspense. Watch for news as my current RS novels are rewritten and rebranded!]

Yeah, I can't be pinned down to a single romance sub-genre and I'm too old to even try!
