Noelle Riches studied English Literature at the University of Guelph only to realize she much preferred the heart–racing stories she read between lectures. She has taught English in Japan and made chocolate in Vancouver, but it wasn't until she started a job in the health and wellness field in Toronto that she turned to her first passion—writing. She now lives with her man in Guelph, Ontario with a blend of their three kids where she teaches her son to be human, feeds her man chocolate, travels with and without the kids as often as possible, and tries to put all the love stories bundled up inside her onto paper.
