We’re Jenny Alexandra (Jenny + Alex)—Ohio-born and LA-made best friends who met in a summer screenwriting class and never stopped talking. Best-friend status was cemented over Rusty Rudolph cocktails at a Christmas party in Jenny’s shoebox Studio City apartment, midnight pie at Du-par’s, and a brief run as YouTubers/anti-Martha Stewarts on a pre-Netflix craft show called Nailed It (please don’t look it up).

A few years and career pivots later, we run a boutique LA PR agency by day, and write spicy rom-coms by candlelight. In 2018, Alex’s Wattpad rom-com landed a traditional deal, leading to two more novels under a pen name with Hachette and Penguin Random House. After years of going all-out on LA family Christmases, Jenny (a published playwright) said, “Let’s write a Christmas rom-com.” Seven months later, we had our first book. Now we write swoony, funny, feel-good romances with cozy holiday magic and plenty of heart.
