Welcome to my page! My name is Andrew Rote (they/them), and I'm an aspiring author in the romance/romcom world.
Writing has been a lifelong passion for me. For as long as I can remember, telling stories has been a part of my life, whether it's romance, fantasy, horror, or so many others. My life has been a blend of analytic pursuits via science and STEM education, and literary passion projects that I've recently begun pursuing in earnest. As a genderfluid/nonbinary parent, I have a wealth of experiences that I like to blend into my stories and characters. For me, the best characters are the ones that make you feel a genuine connection to their struggles and triumphs.
When I'm not writing, I like to play video games, spend time with friends and family, and watch ghost and cryptid hunting shows. I'm extremely passionate about food, and love all things cooking, dining, and enjoying the culture surrounding food. Feel free to subscribe to my quarterly newsletter, and follow me on my instagram at What.rote.wrote
Divorced mother Megan thought she would be more put together by the time she turned forty. Instead, her ex-husband is getting remarried, and her daughters are much happier on their weekends at his house. In her attempt to find the perfect plus one for his wedding, an unexpected kiss with her best friend Donna sends her into a spiral of reevaluation. Before the big day, Megan needs to figure out the version of herself she wants the world to see, or else risk losing both her best friend and further alienating her daughters.
