- My name is J.C. Hannigan. I write new adult romantic suspense novels. COLLIDE is available for Kindle and Kobo, and CONSUMED will be releasing December 2014. You can read more about my books by heading to the "BOOKS" page.
I love my family; my kids, my husband, and our dogs. I love to write, I love tea, coffee, and Instagram. I love curling up on the couch with a good book.
This blog is a collection of my thoughts, my stories, my life. I hope you enjoy!

The Thing About Easter…
I wouldn’t say I don’t believe in a deity, I just haven’t given much thought to religion. I was raised to believe in God, but that he doesn’t take attendance and so long as you’re a good and kind person, … Continue reading
