Tina Folsom is a New York Times bestselling author of vampire and paranormal romance novels who hails from Germany and currently lives in San Francisco. She worked as a tax accountant and even opened her own firm, but in 2008 she wrote her first romance book, and the rest, as they say, is history.
She also studied drama at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, then moved to Los Angeles a year later to pursue studies in screenwriting. LA is where she she met her husband, who she followed to San Francisco three months after first meeting him.
Tina is one of the most successful romance authors who started out by self-publishing. She says one of the keys to her success has been ensuring that each of her books promotes another book. In the back of each novel, she includes an excerpt of one of her other books to entice readers to try a sequel or a different series. Sometimes she offers a free eBook for readers who post a book review on Amazon.
Tina’s favorite authors are: Lara Adrian, Kresley Cole, Larissa Ione, Alexandra Ivy, Kerrilyn Sparks, and Sherrilyn Kenyon.
