Award-Winning Western Historical Romance Author
From Texas Dreams to Literary Reality
Through a crazy twist of fate, Caroline Clemmons was not born on a Texas ranch. To compensate for this illogical error, she has spent decades writing about handsome western heroes, the feisty women who love them, and the scheming villains who challenge them in the untamed American frontier.
Caroline’s journey as a romance author began with a simple dream: to create stories where love conquers all against the backdrop of the Wild West. What started as a passion project has blossomed into an incredible career spanning over 90 published novels across 15+ beloved series.
A Life Shaped by Love and Loss
For 61 wonderful years, Caroline shared her life with her beloved Hero, whose unwavering support and encouragement fueled her writing dreams. Though Hero passed away recently, his belief in her stories and characters continues to inspire every page she writes. Today, Caroline lives in North Central Texas cowboy country with her “Darling Daughter 2,” a librarian, and numerous rescued furbabies, where she continues crafting the western romances that have captivated readers worldwide. “Darling Daughter 2,” a nonfiction author, lives nearby.
