Christy Olesen

Picture



Born and raised in L.A., romance writer Christy Olesen found a home in northern Nevada just over the hill from the Lake Tahoe, where the winters aren’t as harsh, the tourist traffic isn’t as heavy and the lifestyle isn’t as hard to live up to. The Sierra and the high desert inspire her contemporary tender romances.

Christy has worked as a cashier, a parts packer, an electronic circuit assembler, and as a dental laboratory ceramist. She loves to read, garden, and travel the Sierra Nevada in a vintage 1955 travel trailer. Christy is also an accomplished watercolor artist and is currently working as a graphic artist for a newspaper and magazine publisher in Carson City, Nevada.

Her Scottish CEO

Contemporary Tender Romance

2nd Place Winner in Sweetest Romance Award contest 2013

Fleeing a lifetime of disappointment, American artist Marcie Winters puts her hopes on a new job that takes her miles away to Scotland. She needs this illustration job. What she doesn’t need is a car accident. On her own in Scotland, starting her new career, she thought disappointment was behind her. Not only has she landed the job she needs to kick off her career, but she’s met a handsome Scotsman who understands her artistic nature. Maybe that’s why she feels a strong connection when they meet. Maybe that’s why he is on the scene just when she needs him. But disappointment catches up to her when she thinks he wants her artwork, not her.

Greg McInnis was a cocky photographer, a man free to roam the world, until one fateful moment thrust him into the top job in his family’s publishing business. After two difficult years trying to live up to his father’s accomplishments and forget his own failures, Greg's looking for brilliant artwork to complete the project that will persuade his grandfather to accept his unconventional ideas and prove he can handle a desk job. Greg finds it in the watercolors of Marcie Winters, the beguiling American artist, but when she’s in an accident he's not certain she'll ever paint again.
