Mandi Mae Downey is an author living in rural Connecticut. She grew up writing and experimenting with different genres and forms but discovered her niche when she landed her first job ghostwriting romance novels. Writing became a form of escapism and a way for her to explore all of life’s complicated feelings, and what it means to be human. In her work, Mandi strives to build diverse and meaningful characters and inject a healthy amount of absurdist humor into everyday situations. When she isn’t writing smart, sexy, and emotional romances, you can find Mandi goofing off with her funny-guy Chiweenie, Gemini, and fighting a losing battle with her addiction to reality television.

In 2025, Mandi Mae Downey releases her debut novel Save the Date, which is coincidentally your next favorite book.
