About M.S. Qualls

I write character-driven love stories where the landscape matters as much as the people in it. My heroines are usually starting over — new country, old farmhouse, second chance — and the romance unfolds at the pace real trust does.

When I’m not writing novels, I share true stories from Appalachian history with readers on Facebook.
