Jamie McGuire

Jamie McGuire is a #1 New York Times and internationally best-selling author from Tulsa, Oklahoma, credited with helping to pioneer the New Adult romance genre.

Her self-published debut novel, Beautiful Disaster, became a bestseller in 2012; its sequel, Walking Disaster, went on to debut at #1 in all four New York Times bestseller categories for publisher Atria Books, a first for the imprint.

She continued the story in the Maddox Brothers series with Beautiful Oblivion, Beautiful Redemption, Beautiful Sacrifice, Beautiful Burn and A Beautiful Funeral, alongside the novellas A Beautiful Wedding and Something Beautiful. In 2015 she became the first indie author to strike a print deal with Walmart, which stocked Beautiful Redemption on its shelves.

McGuire trained and worked as a radiographer before writing full-time, and has since published other series including Providence and Crash and Burn.
