Welcome New Author!

We’re over the moon to welcome debut author Caroline Stowe to the Harpeth Road family! Caroline’s fabulously festive Christmas military romance The Christmas Wish, follows hotel manager Clara, who makes a wish to skip the entire year only to discover the next second that instead of seeing off her military boyfriend, he’s in front of her, proposing, having just returned home. Her wish came true; it’s actually a year later, and she has no memory of the last twelve months, for publication in October, 2025 (world).

Caroline has been captivated by stories for as long as she can remember. From her early childhood in a quaint Vermont town, to later growing up in Texas, her formative years were a unique blend of New England beauty and southern charm—both involving piles of books. Married to an active-duty Air Force pilot, she has spent the past two decades moving around the country. After living in seven different states, working for two pharmaceutical companies, and staying home to raise three kids, she finally decided to pursue an idea that had been tucked away in the back of her mind. Inspired by the military community, she tapped away at the keyboard until she completed her first manuscript. Caroline’s debut novel, set in a picturesque New England town at Christmas, is an inspiring and magical military romance. When she’s not writing, Caroline can be found soaking up quality time with her husband and daughters, going for long walks, or exploring the charm of her newest town...and of course, reading.
