Kristin Wollett writes romantic comedies with heart, humor, and emotional depth. Her debut novel, As a Last Resort (Forever/Hachette, 2025), was named the #1 Romance to Read in 2025 by Radio Times and praised by New York Times bestselling author Annabel Monaghan as "fresh, funny and crisply written."

Set on a small Florida island, As a Last Resort is a slow-burn, best-friend's-brother rom-com about going home, confronting the mess you left behind, and falling for the person you never saw coming. Readers call it "therapy wrapped in a rom-com" and compare it to the emotional warmth of Abby Jimenez, the coastal charm of Annabel Monaghan, and the cozy humor of Sarah Adams — with a fully closed-door heat level. And Kristin narrated the audiobook herself!

Her next novel, A Killer's Guide to Falling, releases February 2027 from CosmoReads/Sourcebooks — a rom-com with a mystery twist set in Hawaii, featuring a thriller writer who doesn't believe in love and her romance-writer best friend who just got left at the altar.

Kristin is also a working actress whose credits include Christmas Wreaths & Ribbons (Great American Family), County Rescue (Great American Pure Flix), and Detroiters (Comedy Central). She lives in Florida with her husband and five children.
