Jill Kemerer - smile

Jill Kemerer writes warm, witty, small-town Christian romance novels often featuring cowboys. A former electrical engineer, Jill is a full-time author who writes romance novels to give people hope, make them laugh, deepen their faith, and to leave them encouraged.

Besides being an author for Harlequin Love Inspired with nearly one million books sold worldwide, Jill is married to her high-school sweetheart, a mom of two adult children, and an avid reader. Her mornings always include coffee, the Bible, and watching the birds flutter around her backyard.

She grew up in the country in mid-Michigan and now resides in a picturesque little town in Northwest Ohio. The small-time life suits her best. When she isn’t writing, she enjoys long walks in one of the many beautiful local metroparks. She also loves to bake and do simple crafts, the emphasis being on simple.

Jill Kemerer’s books contain a blend of love, humor, and faith. Romance has always been her favorite genre to read. She finds life humorous, and she’s deeply grateful for her faith, best summed up in John 3:16 (NIV) “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
