Stacy Finz is a USA Today and New York Times bestselling author of contemporary romance novels best known for the “Nugget Romances” series of novels. When Finz was twelve years old, her family moved to Northern California, where they made their home in a small almond farm. Given that they did not have much money, Stacy had to ride with her brother and sister in the back of a truck with at least a dozen goats all the way up from Southern California. As if it was not insulting enough, her parents did not inform them that their new home lacked indoor plumbing. They had to use an outhouse for several years before their financial condition improved and they got indoor plumbing. Stacy’s first paying job was with Back Country Trader, a newspaper company.

Stacy Finz would then spend more than two decades reporting on weird Western towns, notorious serial killers, aging rock stars, fanatical foodies, naked tractor driving farmers, before she thought that maybe she had enough material to start her fiction writing career. Once Finz published “Going Home,” the first novel of the “Nugget Romance” series of novels, she went prolific. She now has more than twenty novels in the Nugget Romance, Garner Brothers, and Dry Creek Ranch series of novels. She has also contributed to the Moon Bright, Maine series of novels.
