As I look back on 2025, I’m reflecting on the lessons that shaped me as a romance author, from creative growth to the importance of rest and connection. Looking ahead to 2026, I’m setting a mix of personal and writing goals designed to nurture my creativity, strengthen my routines and bring new stories to life.

Hi pals, it’s Eve here! In this post, I’m sharing some of my favourite Scottish romance authors who deserve more love, from cosy island stories to modern queer love in Edinburgh and beyond. These writers capture Scotland perfectly — the humour, the heart, and the little messy moments that make life and love so brilliant. If you love swoon-worthy romance with a real sense of place, this one’s for you. 💕
