Liz Tomforde

Liz Tomforde is a New York Times bestselling romance novelist who writes contemporary sports romance centered on witty banter, found family, and emotionally healthy relationships.

Biografía y Trayectoria del Autor

As of April 2026, Liz Tomforde is best known as a contemporary romance novelist whose work grew out of a life already shaped by sports. Born and raised in Northern California and the youngest of five children, she grew up watching and playing sports, later played college volleyball, and remained closely tied to that world through her work as a flight attendant for an NHL team. That mix of fandom, travel, and firsthand access gave her fiction its unusually concrete athletic settings. The decisive turning point came in 2020, when the hockey season was postponed during the pandemic and the sudden pause gave her time to try writing her first novel. ((https://liztomforde.com/about))
